I was wondering if you could change the tonearm, or if you are stuck with the arm that comes with the TT. Thanks for the responses so far, and others please chime in. I really need the arm to lift at the end because several people use my table. I was thinking of going direct- drive.

I have been seeing a lot of luxman tables on the bay. As for the sl 1700mk2, it sounds like you have a deal. I wonder if it sounds better then my project 1.2, which I am planning on replacing with the best semi I can find. Thanks for the responses so far, and please keep them coming as I need help with this decision.
