It has arrived! I'm letting the Clearaudio Ovation TT and Universal tonearm warm up before I assemble them (it's 5 degrees F out) but I've got to say that the Universal is a thing of beauty - hand made, well engineered, infinitely adjustable (VTA, VTF, dial - in antiskate (no golf ball, no fishing line), azimuth, 4 different counterweights), jewelry like finish. No offense, and of course IMHO, but it makes my VPI 3D carbon look amateurish. I will post photos and impressions once it's all put together.
