But I thought you were only interested in the tonearm that comes with the TT. You plan to sell the TT after purchasing the ensemble. So the next guy can worry about the lack of a DC, or not.
Acos Lustre GST-1 ...... YAY or NAY. ..... (has Removable Headshell AND VTA on the FLY).
Happy Holidays everyone,
ACOS Lustre GST-1: YAY or NAY. (has removable headshell and VTA on the FLY)
..................................................
While my friend was looking for a single arm with removable headshell and VTA on the FLY for his Technics SP-15, (got Technics 250/500 combo) I found out about the GST-1 Tonearm with BOTH features. Don’t know anything else about it.
It is rare to find a GST-1 separately. I’m thinking of buying a TT with a GST-1 on it for a very good price, just for the arm, sell the TT or give it to someone.
WHY?
IF I move to a very rare CL-P3 Three Arm Plinth some day, I would keep my 12.5" long arm right, keep my Acos Lustre GST-801 with both features rear, use GST-1 with both features left for Mono cartridge (it won’t fit where the short Mission is now on my CL-P2 two arm Plinth). That would move the left arm a proper distance away, easier to place/remove an LP than now, and better appearance.
Someday.

I have an SME 3009 II without VTA on the FLY. I have no plans for. I could easily sell my SME for more than TT/GST-1 would cost me.
Then sell the PL-2 with the short Mission Arm on the Left.
I could put the SME on the rear of the CL-P2, sell it with 2 arms, buyer picks his own main arm right side.
I couls put the SME on the TT the GST-1 comes on (similar sliding plates, sell the TT with SME 3009 II, a nice combo.

YAY or NAY.
