Sony PS-X9

Yes... the same OLD question...any suggetions??

I am considering a balance ($12K with arm)

A Kuzma XL?? none currently available preowned. 

Thanks in advance,

I haven't spent much time with it.  I also tend to not get in to recommendations except for close friends where I know what their preferences, etc, are. 

I don't understand the arm question.  The PS-X9 is not made to swap arms.  Doing so would obliterate the value of the unit if it can't be reversed like it never happened, which is very unlikely.

If you're referring to replacement of the tonearm mount, that's neither here nor there, as regards the "goodness" of a PS-X9.

Looking at the way arms have an integrated mounting as shown 
in the Ebay listing any substations look problematic.

What do you think of the phonostage in the PS-X9?

totem, You may have a point; I did not look at any photos.  From memory, I thought the PS-X9 per se comes as a chassis for which there would be a separate plinth to mount the tonearm.  But...
