tonearm for Gerrard or Lenco idler wheel turntable


I am using a Lenco Idler wheel TT with a Jean natais modified plinth.

I wanted to know from Gerrard or Lenco tt owners or fans whether upgrading from a rega rb700 to a better arm will reap substantial benefits.

I have a strong phono preamp the Dartzeel preamp and amplifier as well

I am using the recently reviewed and very well liked Ortofon A-90 cartridge.

I was thinking about a phantom b-44 II but am a bit wary about a unipivot as opposed to a more traditional tonearm.

Anybody try a Reed Tonearm versus a Graham on a Gerrard or Lenco TT and find one a better match than the other?

i think Lewn has made some good points.I have ( and will have ) most of bit parts/ gears you mentioned in my room soon but they are all scattered on different setups. I don't think I can give you clear answer to your questions with a direct comparison at the moment but I think A90 will match well with the Phantom I/II judging from the experience of some users here. Don't worry about Phantom being an unipivot and deter you as it does behave like one with the Magneglide.
