Has anybody tried the Reed 3P?


I own the Reed 2A and have the 'Magnetic Reed' on lone which I can buy. But I am also curious about the 3P as a possible next one.

Nandric what other arms have you tried in comparison to your current reed? I saw the 3p and am curious also. I'l like to try a 2nd arm besides my triplanar soon, was thinking about a Graham phantom supreme...it's a easy and I guess safe choice...
Is Vidmantas the designer? If so, it's perfectly ok to get his impressions/comments about his arm. We're all asking on this thread and it shouldn't be interpreted as a manufacturer trying to "sell" us...Thanks, Nandric, let us know when you can...
I can easily see that to. But they seem to be pivoting the arm tube vs the cartridge/headshell...so is the geometry right here? While my TriPlanar is a manual (not on the fly and not while a record is playing!) it's also pivoting the arm tube.

So is this the best method and can you hear the geometry issues (if true?)? Seems like Reeds other arm does it better and arms like the graham phantom supreme...
well that solves the "mountain out of a mole hill"...sounds like he got it "very" right...
Hi nandric, it is sincere. If u can adjust at the headshell, that seems best. And fine tuning by ear can never hurt....
Hi Steve, can I get a email address? I thought I sent you a note via reed's website but I guess it never made it. I live in Austin and heard Arnie's set up (very very nice analog front end!)

I am curious about ordering one of the 3p arms, but have a few questions with table and cabling needs off the arm...

Thanks
