It has an uncanny resemblance to the original AR arm (!), but is a fixed-headshell design with much tighter tolerances. I think I saw these on closeout at Audio Advisor a while back, so could possibly be a bargain.

I haved owned an ES-1 since '91 and have a Premier MMT arm mounted. It is a very synergistic combination. I saw one of these advertised in Audiogon within the past month. It has a removable headshell if you change cartridges often. You will probably need a new arm board for whichever arm you decide. If you need more info you can email at [email protected]
