Opus 3 tonearm


Does anyone have experience with this?
I've heard it briefly and found it to be quite an interesting and relatively low cost parallel tracker.

Hi Flyingred
Thanks for the insights. WRT the modded Rega, which cart/arm setup was used? I'm trying to get some point of reference here.

I've seen the Conductor arm and yes, its a very interesting arm, tackling the same problem with a different approach, quite innovative. The arm is virtually frictionless on the horizontal axis.

What's this Laadegard arm? Never heard of it.

The reason for my interest is that I'm going to be getting the new Scheu DPL 2 table, so I'm currently investigating alternative 2nd arms.

I thought the Opus 3 was great, because
(1) it didn't need a pump,
(2) simplicity in design, almost maintenance free

Drawbacks might be the finicky cart mount, and I'm not certain what range of carts are suitable to pair with it. So far I've only read/seen MM carts used, not a single MC. Could there be any issues here?
