Good point!

I hadn't considered certain non-rigid materials. I was guilty of shooting from the hip. I actually think you could make a tonearm out of styrofoam; it would be very light, ideal for high compliance cartridges. And you could ship it, packed in styrofoam. To my ears, tonearms, cartridges, and even speakers constructed wholly or in part from carbon fiber (like the tonearm on this 3K turntable) always have a distinctive coloration. I attribute that coloration to "resonance". I probably should have left it at that.
