what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with.

Schröder Reference but with the neutral balance bearing geometry and all the fine adjustment options used on the SQ. It needs them too and a sensitive touch on the various locking screws. The music can come alive but the sweet spot is pretty narrow. I’d love to hear how an LT compares, though my Artemis doesn’t have room for one. How are the two pivots linked?
Before that was a Naim Aro, used n an Elite Rock without the damping trough and a Rega 300 used with the trough.

TW Acustic 10.5 one of the best tonearms i have ever used with wonderful sound and detail.

I have the Audiomods Series III with the bead-blast finish and the micrometer VTA feature

Jeff has some great new arms that perform even better and are longer (10.5") than the more "regular" length arms

Jeff is a great guy and takes into account the TT that it is to be installed on - sometimes making a custom mounting plate for certain TT's

His work is amazing and the final product is exceptionally well built

He does take a few weeks to make it - mine took about 6 weeks

Last arm I'll ever buy - Steve
