Gyrodec Best Tonearm


I have the beautiful Gyrodec/Zeta tonearm combo in my system. I would like to know which tonearm could be a good upgrade for my set up...

THANKS

I prefered Zeta on the Linn LP 12 above FR-64 mainly because of weight. Though Zeta is also a 'heavy gun' .
This 'factor' is related to the used springs. On Thorens
160 Super the Alphason HR 100 was a better match.
Your own idea to send the arm to Johny of Origami is the best of all propositions. Your problem is the cart not the
tonearm. The Ortofon Kontrapunkt C or Jubilee are much
better. If you intend to experiment with MM carts then
the Alphason is the best choice. On ebay the Zeta is slightly more expensive. I assume of course that the money
issue is important.

Dover, First thing first. Think of all those Linn-LP 12
mods. They are 'countless' in the meanwile. Do you want him
to enter this 'labyrinth'? Nice to see that you know about
Origami. The only problem with Zeta I know of are the bearings. A peace of mind has also value and this Johny is
a decent guy. So if the bearings needs correction he will
do just that. I myself am very skeptical about rewiring but
this is also an option. Johny will never advise with the intention to earn money. I am sorry for you but my advise is much better.
Regards,
Dover, Thanks for the 'C'. My English is much better now.
I thought that it is always the case that some adviCe is
better than some other.

Melanco, Only Raul owns (2) 'perfect cartridges' but among
his other 100. You may be enthusiastic but no need to overdo. You should look at Audiogon (market) by cartridges
to get some impression about (MC) carts and their prices.
Everyone of us can name 2 or 3 carts but this is obviously to restricted as well as to subjective. Look for your self,
compare by reading about them. That is what we all do.
