New Ortophon Tonearms?


Anyone out there have any impressions of the AS or RS series Ortophon tonearms? Always contemplating upgrades and I haven't seen much press on these.

If so, any thoughts about using on a suspended table, or compatibilty with my Sota?

I have an Ortofon AS-309s with an Ortofon Jubilee on my Raven AC and I really like it. I'm also using a Dynavector XV-1s on a Graham Phantom the sound is very very close. The Dyna/Phantom combo is more dynamic, bigger soundstage but we're not talking night and day here, particularly for the price difference. The VTA adjustment on the Ortofon is crude compared to the Graham but other than that, its' really good IMHO.
Well, if you're looking at it as part of an upgrade path then I suppose Downunder and I would be good indicators that you can go pretty far with this arm. So from that perspective I suppose it's a good option.
