I've owned this arm since the early 80s. It is the 5th arm for my old Delphi (the original). I found it blisfully free of resonances. Yes there are some rumbles when not kept clean. Sort of like dirty glasses verses the wrong prescription. I always used it with pretty heavy cartridges that needed moderately high tracking weights (mostly Koetsu)and I never had troubles even on terribly warped records. To keep the same arm for nearly 30 years and really not have any desire to swap it out. What other piece of equipment do you have you can say that?
