From what I have owned/own in order of preference under 10K
I feel that linear tracking arms provide the most musical performance especially when it comes to transparency and soundstage Thales Simplicity II Trans Fi Terminator 3 Triplanar VII SE
Arms I would like to hear that I feel would be up with the ones above Thales Easy Kuzma 4 point 11" Reed 3P
One of the greatest benefits of the Trans-Fi is its adjustability. Adjustments are precise and stable. What's the point of a wonderfully engineered product which can't be adjusted for optimum sound?
Another great benefit is its tweak-ability. One can tweak the mass of the arm wand, the damping, and by supporting the other end of the beam, even the stability.
I would love to hear a Durand in my system on my DIY air bearing table, but other priorities beckon.
