what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with.

I had an Ortophon 309 arm on my Woodsong Garrard 301. Replaced it with a Tri-planar SE. the T-p runs circles around the 309. Used to have 20-30% of my record collection that was unlistenable. Now it is rare that a LP is not interesting and enjoyable.

I am also using Reed 3 p arm. will that work with etna sl and van den hul?

Reed 3p available not only in different length (from 9’ to 12’ inch), but with different wood (arm tube) which change effective mass significantly.

It depends what wood type and which length you have!

Effective mass stated for each type individually on reed.lt website.

My worst
