SL1200GAE New Tonearm

I agree that the stock arm on the GAE is outstanding.  I have not compared it with a Triplanar, but have an SME on another TT, and a VPI 3D w/dual pivot on another and compared to them it is easier to set up and sounds as good as or better than the others all things considered.  In terms of headshells, I use the Zupreme and more recently have found the Yamamoto HS-4S carbon to be even better.  Actually a lot better.  Both have azimuth adjustment and weigh a reasonable 12 g or so.  My favorite of several cartridges is an Ortofon Windfeld and my preferred phono preamp is a Conrad-Johnson TEA2MAX with a Bob's SUT.

Reed is out of Lithuania. I was born there. Interesting... 

Dear @billstevenson : Good that you like it because Technics usually does not make mistakes of that tonearm caliber where other say to change the stock arm..

Problem is that atmasphere is a seller and always post to promote something of his busine$$.

I hope @jtsnead could talk with you about. He really needs help not some one trying to " spend " his money.

Anyway, other than those headshells you are using did you rewired the tonearm internally?. Could be a " significant " up-grade specially with that great Windfeld cartridge you own.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

 Oh, really? That's nice. Loads of friend in Lithuania. I went there to meet up with people from Reed to buy my 3p tonearm. Vilnius is not far from St.Petersburg. 

Raul,

What arm wire have you tried that worked well?  The Windfeld is a very nice cartridge isn't it?
