> is greater effective mass always worse?Generally speaking, the answer is yes, but it's not quite that simple.
Structural integrity is a good thing and it requires mass. The stronger you make a tonearm, the more massive it becomes. Therefore, you are faced with two opposing parameters---mass and strength. Consequently, there's a compromise or trade-off involved and the medium mass tonearm seems to be the best compromise these days.
Higher mass degrades tracking performance. Lower mass degrades structural integrity. The nine-inch tonearm seems to incorporate the best of both worlds.
