You know,,, after 35 years my mind is foggy but the name Luxman is ever so slightly starting to ring a bell.
Name that tonearm !
I cannot remember the name and the tonearm has absolutely no lettering or symbols to help me. I even looked under the table.
Here are your clues.
I would offer a prize, but I don’t know what he correct answer is.
Thanks,

Here are your clues.
- I purchased the tonearm sometime between 1980 and 1985.
- At the time of purchase there was not a huge selection of tonearms to choose from. According to the various stereo magazines, this arm was generaly considered the second best arm on the market, right behind SME.
- I recently had a new cartridge installed and the tech told me it was one one the best balanced tonearms he had ever worked with.
- I’m not sure, but I almost think the company name was comprised of initials - like SME.
- As a point of reference REGA turntables had just started to make a big splash.
I would offer a prize, but I don’t know what he correct answer is.

Thank you! That is definitely not a name I remember and normally I would emphatically say, "No, that can't be right." Nevertheless, seeing is believing and that sure is my tonearm. I wonder if M.S. could have marketed it under a different name a some point? Oh well, that IS my tonearm. Thanks a bunch. Toolbox |
