Turntable/Tonearm choices

Dear @millercarbon : Do you already listen it? bacause I did it in a top room/system with a cartridge I know very well and I can say it's worth to own it.

Mijos said is a" nigth mare " and complicated for something to simple that I think is not so simple as he posted.

Here what a gentleman that I respect posted on the Thales tonearm, @downunder is a proud owner:

"  This is an easy one for me. The biggest leap in sonic improvement for my Lyra Atlas has been to put a Thales Simplicity II tonearm onto my TW Acustik AC-3.

My TW turntable now sounds the best it has ever sounded, even my tube phono stage sounds much better now.

I am now a believer in tangential tracking tonearms. ""

and other from @whatthe :

"  Thales simplicity 11 and statement, are in my view, game changers. I have owned a fair amount of tonearms over the last 20yrs. Looking for that final purchase. Thalesis it. Done! Nothing other then the walker or Schroeder LT compares to it. Masterfully constructed, beautifully designed and engineered. Everything is taken into consideration. No where else to go. Happy and finished searching.  *****

Is it a perfect tonearm ? nothing is in audio ( always exist trade-offs. ) but it'sreally good design and with Swiss quality excecution levels.

Btw, I like the Kuzma 4point tonearm but the Thales is different in different league.

Dear @jaym759 : I disagree with that no sense " neither one ".

Thale is the best way to go. Its tonearm is really unique due that even designed as a pivot tonearm it runs the cartridge in tangential way and this means that with any cartridge exist no tracking error and no tracking distortion for that error.
That is a tremendous advantage over any other pivot tonearm along the Thales second to none build quality in the TT/tonearm combinartion.

The choice is " pristine " and direct with no single doubt.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
