New Ortophon Tonearms?

Anyone out there have any impressions of the AS or RS series Ortophon tonearms? Always contemplating upgrades and I haven't seen much press on these.

If so, any thoughts about using on a suspended table, or compatibilty with my Sota?

I can highly recommend the Ortofon RS-212D, which I have on my suspended Merrill-Scillia MS2 TT. Great value for the money. I also like the option of a detachable headshell for fast switching of cartridges.

I use the longer RS 309D on my TW accustic Raven one. It's beautifully made and great sound, good base, great tracker. I would say one of the best value arms around. As you say, you hear very little about them

I went to the Munich HighEnd show this year and the Ortofon tonearms were obviously popular in Germany, especially with Raven One. Sounded great in my opinion. My guess is they are great value for money (I have not owned one, not used one over time, but they certainly didn't ruin the sound where I listened to them).
