Yes for high compliance carts.
Yeah the magnepan arm's are going for over $3k now according to HighFiShark. If i'm going to spend that much I'll replace the Jelco first. But looks like a nice arm.
someone else mentions the grace 707 as a possible candidate as well as the SME 3009, just wondering if there is other choices that may be better-different. availability is of course something to consider. also i'd really like to not bore another 5" hole through the 6" bamboo plinth if I can help it. To accommodate the wire's but beggars can't be choosers so that's a sacrifice I will make if I have to for the right arm.
the compliance on the VDH is 20cu vertical and 35cu horizontal. recommended arm mass from 6-12grams but really the higher end is in my experience to heavy i'd like to stay under 10g if possible. Of course this is also to allow future high compliance carts as well.
oh one last thing be nice if it had a removable head shell but at lower masses I understand that may not be possible.
