What cart. for the Reed 3P?

Just found a Reed 3P 12 inch  arm to go with my Dr Feickert Firebird table- What cart. do you rec. in the $2500- $3500 Used range- I was offered a Lyra Etna which was on the Reed - Was also thinking about The Soundsmith Hyperion II but open to any suggestions from the experts!! As always thanks so much for the advice!!!

Since it's been quiet here, I have had one experience with Reed.
It was a model 2, 9" arm, can't remember the letter designation.
The dealer played an EMT Tsd-15, and it was a very nice match.
It really seemed to bring flesh out the midrange.

If you want to talk with an experienced dealer, Doug White at The Voice That Is has worked with both Reed and Feickert. I'd suggest calling Doug. He's a good man. Cheers,

Hey Fluffers
I've tried my Reed 3P (18g) with Glanz FMG61, Garrott p77, Audio-Technica ART-2000, Argent MC-500HS, Grace F9F, Audio Technica AT-ML150/OCC, Fidelity Research FR-5E, Victor x1II and even Stanton 980LZS. Everything with great result (from low/mid to mid/high compliance cartridges). This is very musical tonearm.
