This argument goes back to the 1950s. When I became editor of Stereophile in 1986, I standardized on the term "tonearm" because all pickup arms suffer from mechanical resonances that color the sound to a greater or lesser extent.

"Funk refers to their tonearm as a “pickup arm.” A tonearm, explained Pro Audio’s Brian Tucker, implies that the arm imparts its own sonic signature to the system"
Pretentious? Oui
Cute table but for that price I might want a little more. 1400 for something funky?
