Any thoughts on the Avid Acutus?

Would be replacing Oracle Delphi V, Triplanar IV, Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum with the Avid, Triplanar VI, Benz Micro LP Ebony. My ears tell me I'd be nicely enhancing my former rig's sound with a similar but more dynamic sonic signature. Or is this an expensive lateral move?

Sounds like an expensive lateral move to me.

How is Acutus "much better"? My guess would be somewhat better bass but what else? I believe this is more a flavor change than a significant upgrade.

Well, you've thought it out pretty well. The VII is a great arm. It's what I have on my TNT 6 Hotrod. Be sure the setup is correct to get the most out of it. I hope you have a good dealer who really knows how to set up a turntable. So few do these days.

He isn't asking for general table,arm and cartridge recommendations but specifically about the Oracle and the Avid.
