Acos Lustre GST-1 ...... YAY or NAY. ..... (has Removable Headshell AND VTA on the FLY).

Happy Holidays everyone,

ACOS Lustre GST-1: YAY or NAY. (has removable headshell and VTA on the FLY)

..................................................

While my friend was looking for a single arm with removable headshell and VTA on the FLY for his Technics SP-15, (got Technics 250/500 combo) I found out about the GST-1 Tonearm with BOTH features. Don’t know anything else about it.

It is rare to find a GST-1 separately. I’m thinking of buying a TT with a GST-1 on it for a very good price, just for the arm, sell the TT or give it to someone.

WHY?

IF I move to a very rare CL-P3 Three Arm Plinth some day, I would keep my 12.5" long arm right, keep my Acos Lustre GST-801 with both features rear, use GST-1 with both features left for Mono cartridge (it won’t fit where the short Mission is now on my CL-P2 two arm Plinth). That would move the left arm a proper distance away, easier to place/remove an LP than now, and better appearance.

Someday.

I have an SME 3009 II without VTA on the FLY. I have no plans for. I could easily sell my SME for more than TT/GST-1 would cost me.

Then sell the PL-2 with the short Mission Arm on the Left.

I could put the SME on the rear of the CL-P2, sell it with 2 arms, buyer picks his own main arm right side.

I couls put the SME on the TT the GST-1 comes on (similar sliding plates, sell the TT with SME 3009 II, a nice combo.

YAY or NAY.
