Lustre GST-801 as 2nd Arm for Raven One?


OK...I have an old Lustre GST-801 arm that's been hidden away for decades. I'll be getting my Raven One turntable shortly...Is this arm a possible canditate for this TT...as a second arm?

Dear Kenny: According my Lustre experiences IMHO your Shilabe can/could be very good " candidate "/match to the Lustre tonearm, you can try it: nothing to loose about.

Regards and enjoy the music.

The Shilabe tracks 2.5 to 3.2 grams (recommend 3.0). The Lustre seems to top off at 2.5. Worth a listen.
Dear Kennythekey: I agree, worth a listen. My advise is that you try it in both ways static and dynamic balanced ( its natural design .) and make a choice for the best performance, in the static way to set-up the VTF you do it through the tonearm combination counterweight/ring ( leaving the tonearm VTF dial at cero position. )

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Kenny: I forgot, you can/could try your Shilabe using different headshells ( additional to the Lustre one ) that give you different overall cartridge sound " presentation ".

This move IMHO it is worth to try it too along better headshell wires than the originals.

Regards and enjoy the music.
