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.

I didn't respond to your question because I'm not familar with your table. However, so long as you can get an armboard cut for the specific arm you want, requirements being a rigid base for the arm, and you can get the correct overhang (distance from spindle to pivot point), you can actually use the any arm you like, so long as it matches your cartridge.

That being said, I strongly recommend you look at the Schroeder. The model 2 which comes with the carbon fibre armwand has an effective mass of 12g and should match most cartridges.

Which cart are you using?
