Audio Note TT3 Voyd tonearm suggestions

From what I know AN we're rewiring  and hot rodding Rega arms before they started making their own. 

Yes - 20 - 30 years ago.

Are you going to buy a 20 - 30 year old tonearm ?

They also worked with Helius 20 odd years ago for a brief period too., and Systemdek, and Voyd and .....

And then of course whilst acting as agents for Audio Note Japan/Kondo they registered the Audio Note name in the UK & Europe, and then dumped Kondo and launched their own "Audio Note " products.

Not a very ethical company in my view and personally I would never buy any of their products for that reason.

 The AudioNote arms look like Rega variations - i might be wrong...

You are wrong. The Audionote arms are made in Austria. Nothing to do with Rega.

The Audionote is the modern incarnation of the Voyd. They were always paired with Helius, SME's, and if money didn't stretch Regas. The AudioNote arms look like Rega variations - i might be wrong...

What is the difference between the 2 and the 3 arms other than $1k

Agree with Raul - go with the Audio Note 3 - it will match the sensitive sprung suspension in the TT3 ( which is quite lossy ).. In my view get the best arm you can, go for the model 3 over the model 2.

Dear @pkvintage  : There are several tonearm manufacturers as Origin Live, Kuzma, Reed, VPI and the like but I can't see a good reason to go with any of those non AN tonearms that even has a higher price.

The Audio Note 3 is a very well made design ( as every AN manufactured audio item. ) with a very important characteristics that's the tonearm internal wiring that's second to none: the all silver AN wire along the IC cable that is the silver one by AN too and all these is truly special for your Koetsu can shows at its best.

Audio Note is guarantee of high quality. You can't go wrong with.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Do you know the weight range limits as relates to suspension balance?
