Raul,
Concerning Reed tonearms, a few years ago an audio dealer had a TT for sale that I wanted but it was sold just before I contacted that dealer. I then bought the Triangle Art TT. A year later, that same dealer had some Reed arms for sale. I had read positive press on these arms. Sadly once again, I hesitated and was too late to purchase one of those.
Earlier this month, this same dealer had one remaining arm in stock for sale that he will no longer carry. This arm intrigued me enough for me to talk with him. And ultimately I purchased this arm. He offered to machine the mount ring for the arm tower and provide a spacer between the mount and arm to better handle any resonances. These were offered to me at no charge; now that's great customer service! Once I get this arm set up and live with it for some time, I will look to contact him again for advice on another arm ... perhaps a model that he now currently sells or that he has experience with, or some others on my mind.
As for Audioquest, after I read the rave reviews of their top IC at the time, I got one and tried it in my system. It was one of the most dimensionally flat cables I had experienced. No matter how tonally coherent, detailed, incredible degree of clarity, etc., that a cable might have, if it truncates piano notes instantly, the cable is immediately dismissed. Needless to say, I don't have a lot of excitement to try another Audioquest cable unless someone here can suggest a model. However, I have an old Audioquest 7000 cartridge, re-tipped by the Andy at the Needle Clinic. This cartridge is outstanding and just might be one of two that I end up running in a 2-tonearm system.
