No Rega arm uses an eccentric counterweight.The Graham is a very noteworthy unipivot which doesn not use an eccentric counterweight.
And yes, the eccentric C/W when used with a Rega arm causes a nonlinear change of the VTF.
The mass of the C/W at stylus height means nothing. The arm has fixed bearings and cannot tip sideways.
How do they smell? :-)

- Exactamundo. In principle only the stylus should move, the arm not. - Garth 12:07:29 09/12/06 (0)
- They are equidistant, at least on a 250. The 300 and up may be a different story. - Garth 13:45:00 09/11/06 (7)
- "They are equidistant, at least on a 250." - ahem, and this is another reason why the 250 is better than the 300 [nt] - OMalley 14:50:07 09/11/06 (1)
