I recently sold my Denon DP-59L (and moved to RegaP5 and Kuzma) I used the straight arm.
IMO a curved are is ancient technology. I know some folks love curved arms, but i immediately think "1970". For awhile the "S" curve arm was all the rage. It was a fade, one some folks still enjoy. The "S" curve arm is a heavier arm, for lower compliance carts. (Stone age carts) (BUT, if you like to use old, heavy, low compliance stone age carts, the "S" arm is the one to use!) LOL!
If you want to use the better arm for the majority of modern cartridges, the straight arm is the only one to use.
(Did my post seem RANT-ISH?? PS clearly I hate "S" and J" curves arms. no kidding, no special reason, just they suck IMO with a modern high compliance cart)
Feel free to flame my buttocks all you curved arm lovers.
