Dan(Puffball),
Thanks for the info on "Spacemen 3".
Absolutely loving the Thales Easy Tonearm! More of everything good (detail, soundstage presentation, tonal balance), less distortion (although I never really noticed that to be an "issue" until it was "gone"), & greater initial note impact. It's much easier now to hear the beginning, middle, & end of the notes as well as subtle layers within them. Vocals are incredible. Going from the Vira (which is also a great sounding tonearm) to the Thales Easy is the biggest tonearm improvement I've made (SQ wise) since going from a Rega 300 to a Victor UA-5045... which was huge. Build quality of this arm is top of the line. You can tell it's Swiss made, very smooth movement. The only thing I don't like about it is that it lacks a finger "hook" at the end of the tonearm, which takes a little bit to get used too.
