Arm to a Eat Forte S


Hi,

I hope you are well.

Last year my wife bought a second hand Brinkman to me as a birthday present. Unfortunately the deal did not work out. Lots of work for nothing.

However, we are now back on track again. We have ordered a Eat Forte S turntable. We got it for a nice price, approx. USD 5,000 excl tonearm and pickup.

The Eat Forte S need a 12 inch tonearm. Due to budget cosntraints, we have to aim for an arm costing approx. USD 2,000 - 2,500. This outrule Graham, Triplanar, Ikeda, etc.

I have been looking at Reed, SME 312S, Ortofon TA-210, Pro-Ject 12cc Evolution, Schick and AMG tonearm.

I would be very happy for your thoughts on this.

My equipment is Burmester 051, Burmester 061, Wilson Sophia 2, Revox B-77Mk2, etc.

Cheeers and thanks, Toffen

HI!

Thanks. I will ask Eat Forte about their arm. I can get the Project 12 CC arm for a very nice price, so thats a good thought.

How are you pleased with the turntable?

Hi! Thanks:)

I see a Reed 2A cost approx usd 3,000 in Norway. People I know well and who is into vinyl are very exited about this brand. If I am correct the arm can be delivered in various config. Reed has a dynamic way of sound, and this should suit Eat Forte S which is more relaxed. Maybe I wrong though!
