Hi Tonyptony, I used to have a ES-1 w/ MMT and felt about the same thing. I later switched to a Linn Basik LVX, which had better resolution and bass. It was a lighter arm and mated with the ES-1s suspension better, even with aluminum arm board. I would think that a Rega would also be a great match. Thanks. Alan
Best modern tonearm for AR ES-1
Any recommendations? I tend to gravitate toward high output MC carts, if that helps. Keep in mind that the ES-1 is not really a "high end" table, so I'd like to keep the price on the arm to below $1000. I've been using an old Premiere MMT, but always felt it was a little lacking in clarity, low end control, and tracking ability.
