goldmund reference . which would be the best arm

i have had a goldmund reference for many years with the t 3f arm , as an experiment i decided to mount a 15 year old linn ittock arm with a cut down linn arm board, the results are very favourable proving the ittock is superior to the t3f linear tracker. Can any one advise a more suitable arm for this table as the ittock is hardly the last word in tonearms.

Actually, someone preferring an Ittok to a T3F is easy to believe....

Two arms that I've heard in person work are the Naim Aro and the SME IV. Different strengths as you'd expect, but both were terrific and both absolutely devastated the two other contenders--a Graham 2.0 and the aforementioned T3F.

I'd bet a SME V would be a treat too!

Best,

Bob

Dear Tangram: The question is not: wich is the best suitable tonearm for the TT. The question will be: wich is the tonearm that do a match with your phono cartridge. This combo ( tonearm/cartridge ) has priority over TT/tonearm combo, and I'm not saying that this combo is not important, it is but the other one is more important. If you tell us wich is the cartridge ( s ) that you own then we can help you.
Regards and enjoy the music.

Hi Tangram,

I'm curious, where & how did you mount the Ittok on the Reference?
