Reed 2G vs 3P…..Opinion please!


Folks,

I am considering these arms for my soon to arrive tw-acustic GT2 turntable. Anyone with direct experience, please chime in. I would also appreciate feedback on your choice of cart with either of these arms.

Thank you!

Dear @lalitk  : I don't know the Etsuro Urishi but I know of the Etsuro Gold and the Umami Red ( both made it by Excel. ) and if I was you the Umami is really fine not only in its price range but even way higher price ranges. I never listened in my system the Fuuga only in a distributor room and ver heard the Stein.

 

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

For carts also consider Aidas CU. I went from a Hana ML to Aidas and was blown away, and retipping can be done relatively inexpensively and quickly.
 

I too am interested in the Bordeaux but it’s another $3K

@rauliruegas

I am very familiar with Hana Umami Red. I enjoyed it very much with my SME 15AV TT. It’s one of those cart’s that I am very comfortable using as a base line while I tinker with other carts.

Thanks for your recommendation, I will check it out. 

Update: Reed 3P tonearm ordered. I am grateful to @fsonicsmith and @gestalt for their invaluable feedback and consultation. The arm is likely to be paired with Miyabi Labs Fuuga MC cart and Konus Audio’s Vinyle 3000MC phono.
