the perfect tonearm

Hi,
"the perfect tonearm" and retailing for "less than $2000 that has multiple virtues"

Ahum.., we'll see what Raul or DerTonarm have to say to that.
I understand they are on the -road to perfection- alas that also appears to include the price.
If you add one "0" to your number, they might even talk product to you?

Nothing for nothing, and perfection even less so :-)

Of course your 'request' is not illegitimate at all, just you won't get a 'stick on a string' for 2k these days --- (the name of the game as it seems).

So let's see how it goes,

Hi Mike,there is,alas, a big gap between what we want and
what we can afford. But you can get for less:
1.Lustre 801
2.Micro MA-505 (S)

You will need a new (silver) phonocable for both as well
one new headshell,say,Orsonic with (Ikeda)silver 'tags'.
Those tonearms are not 'less' then the so called 'big guns'.
Regards

I second the MA-505 or MA-505S (S stands for silver wire) if you can find one in good condition. It is an S sharp arm which allows you to change VTA, tracking force, and anti-skating on the fly.

The Jelco 750 doesn't have VTAF, but it's a great arm. I own one and use it on my vintage Thorens.
