No change in effective length.

Hi there,

The locking nut fits over the tonearm tube, so you can change from one type to another and the effective length doesn't change.

However you need to change to the heavier counterweight to be able to balance the same range of cartridge weights.

For what it's worth, I think the fixed headshell model is more consistent with the overall design concept of the 3009 improved, ie a low mass tonearm suited to high compliance cartridges which track at l.5g or less.

Best regards,

BK
