What about the reed 3 p? Or the Ikeda?

Would a expensive arm make that much of a difference?

im starting g to believe turntable and tonearms are the least bang for the buck

The better the table, the better a good arm will perform. Your turntable support is also important. When I moved my table from wood to metal stands to concrete blocks, the improvement was a major upgrade. Adding springs under the table instead of cones also brought a large improvement. Try these 'upgrades' before spending relatively large amounts on gear.

I can work on that, thanks
