I’m not exactly sure what drives companies to make changes quickly, but i suspect it is primarily to make more money and to keep up with their competitors.

Apparently the Gimbaled tonearm came about after the old man had too many to drink and wiped out the cantilever or a Lyra Atlas Cart. They were planning on producing it as an option until they stuck the deal with Mark Levinson so all those gimbaled arms went on to that table and they could not put any on their own tables due to a compete clause.
