The Mobil Fidelity Ultradec is a very nice straight forward little table that hits all the right notes. One problem is that the specs list the effective mass of the arm at 35 grams. It would have to be made out of lead.
The effective mass of a 4 Point 14 is 19 grams. It looks like an intermediate mass arm of around 12 grams which will work well with most modern cartridges excepting the really stiff ones like the Koetsu and Air Tight cartridges. I think the Lyra Delos would be wonderful. Others include the Audio-Technica AT-ART7 and the Clearaudio Talismann V2 Gold. I would avoid Grados because of the AC synchronous motor. I have never played with a SoundSmith so I can't make a comment but there are a lot of people who like them. I personally am not fond of vintage cartridges. Cartridge technology has improved with better magnets, materials and geometry. I prefer not to go backwards.
