yes, they are beautifully built, and soundwise they are top notch, and if you need a comparison, they eat an SME V at breakfast, a Triplanar at lunch, and most of the others at dinner. The gimbal Pluto tonearms, like 8A, can be regarded as Breuers with lots of power. The 4C, a unipivot, on the other hand could be bettered by a Graham, in my opinion. Though I cannot comment on the current unipivot, the 2A, because I have listened to it not at home, only at shows. The unipivots seem to be derivations of the Hadcock tonearms.
In the end, I preferred a Schroeder to my Pluto tonearms, even on the Pluto 10A deck, which I once had.
Though, if you find a gimbal Pluto tonearm s/h for a reasonable price, it should be worth trying.
