Thank you Lew,
I have also read about the RS Labs RS-A1 - looks 'out of this audiophile world'.
How would you describe there character of the sound? Why do you only 'sometimes' use it if you feel it does sound the best? Are you worried about tracking error?

I have three tonearms. Two are straight and one is conventional off-set. I am modifying my ebony 12 inch arm to accommodate an off-set headshell as I am worried about tracking error. . However, I have positioned my 500mm straight arm as to John Ellison's suggested null point of 78.872mm and it sounds fantastic. I am so happy.
Anyhow, I will still go ahead with the mod on the ebony 12 inch arm for experimentation.
Bob
