I've recently noticed these wooden tonearms on ebay. Why would
tonearms be made of wood? Is there any possible benifit besides the
obvious cosmetic one? Does it affect the sound in any way?

only in a negative way would it affect the sound, i would have
thought. Wood does absorb and release moisture and thereby its weight
is not constant. The moisture content of wood can also affect its
shape though presumably not to the extent that this would cause any
problems.

There are a number of ways to stabilize the moisture content of wood
including both coatings and impregnation.

Its just another scam to get gullible people to dish out money
unnecessarily.

Welcome to the high end LP playback equipment business in the 21st
century.

what scams can you cite in the highend LP playback equipment business?

Elaborate, expensive equipment for which superior performance is claimed,
but not actually delivered.

But why would anybody want to use LP's any more, just beats me.

Some LPs have music that is available in no other format. The best
way to enjoy that music is to transcribe it to digital media, but to
do that, you need to play it at least one more time.

For some of us the best way to enjoy records is to listen to them.

True sockpuppet Wheel, you lack the skills and resources to digitize them,
so you have to make do within the contexts of your own limiations. In
essence you make policy in this area and many others based on your
intellectual laziness and lack of basic skills.
