I have had the Grado Sonata with this tonearm and it sounded nice. I moved up to the Aida from Soundsmith which is a bit more than the Zephyr and the improvement was astounding. My stereo supplier form Wilmington, Delaware recommends the Zephyr for this tonearm. If you can save for the Aida, it would be a great impromement. Hope this helps. Steve
