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

Excellent turntables

brrr....unwatchable..not even free!! 

The best I have owned was the Trans Fi Terminator 3 always liked LT arms, got tired of the adjustments so did some research and found my best tonearm the Thales Simplicity II so easy to setup and sounds just like the cartridge you are using and no distortions

@viv - what table and cartridge/phono stage are you using the tru glider with? If you don’t mind telling, what was the total rig investment?

I’ve been using the Sumiko MMT (very odd that NO ONE has mentioned this arm: it has a mythic reputation) for 35 years. Never felt the need to switch: still going strong. And the current Jelco model, at $550 or so, is a bargain. Sounds as good as arms costing 5 x’s as much or more. 

It’s compatible with a wide range of cartridges, except for Grado (the infamous “Grado Bounce” [aa scary as it sounds: use your imagination]). 

I’ve been using it with Koetsu cartridges. First the (original) black, then the Rosewood Signature, and finally the sublime Onyx.
