Teres owners and vinyl junkies . . . .

i'm very strongly considering the replacement of my lp12 ekos/arkiv/lingo/etc. . . with a teres 255. (depending on whether mine sells or not) my question is this. i plan on keeping my linn arkiv. i want to mount the teres with either an SME V or an OL illustrious (or encounter). would the arkiv be a good match for either of these arms, or should i try to sell my cart also and try to procure a lyra helikon s/l?

i would really appreciate all of your segguestions.

thanks,
-j

Lazarus, either of those arms would work fine with the Arkiv. I personally think that the OL Illustrious would be a better choice, but the SME V is an excellent arm. You couldn't go wrong either way. I think the OL Illustrious would be a more musical arm, and less analytical, while still retaining the bass response and detail of the SME. Same goes for the Encounter arm, but not quite as good as the Illustrious. The SME has a very nice VTA adjustment, that is easier to use than the OL, but I think the sound will be better with either of the OL choices.
