Tri-planar u12 or a Graham Phantom is the most obvious.
Looking for Tonearm Advice/Suggestions
I am looking down the road at potentially upgrading my tonearm and cartridge (tonearm first) and would greatly appreciate any advice and suggestions this board may have. I have always received great feedback from the Audiogon community and I always learn a lot when asking these questions so thanks in advance for your help.
Here is my current setup:
- Dr. Feickert Volare turntable
- Jelco TK-850S tonearm
- Lyra Delos MC cartridge
- Manley Chinook phono stage
- Prima Luna Dialogue HP Premium integrated amp
- Dynaudio Contour S 3.4LE speakers
- Twin REL T/9i subs
- Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker cables
- Innuos Zenith music server
- Lumin T2 streamer
- Bryston CD player
- AudioQuest Niagara 1200 Power Conditioner
I listen to variety of music but mainly classic rock, country/folk (not bro-country) and singer/songwriter. I prefer listening to vinyl although I also still play CD’s as well as stream. Overall I have put this system together trying to minimize harshness as I gravitate to a “warmer” sound. In thinking about a tonearm upgrade I am considering the Kuzma Stogi 9 or possibly the Reed 1h 9.5. Down the road I would love a Hana Unami Red cartridge but not sure I want to pay that price. The Unami Blue is also a consideration.
I’m not in a hurry but would greatly appreciate your thoughts on these tonearm options as well as cartridges. I know there are many other tonearms out there and countless combinations so feel free to lob in any thoughts you have. I am all ears and open minded.
Many thanks,
