Hi- Fairly new to this, but I've been reading contradictory things about pros/cons of straight and s-shaped tonearms. I have a straight tonearm but do not dj. My vinyl collection is well cared for and am more into sound quality. I have an Audio Technica AT440ML cartridge. Does my straight tonearm really have poorer sound quality and wear out my records faster? Is my cartridge/stereo at full potential with a straight tonearm?
Thanks for your time and advice,
Matt
