I want to replace the arm on my Classic Well Tempered turn table. Any suggestions, past experiences - good or bad? Any info on who provides mounting templates?
A while ago, a fellow named Lary Pederson was offering an extremely cost effective modification to the arm (it was something like $395). I'm not sure if he does this anymore. Anyone have information on this?
Years ago Stereophile in its Recommended Components (when that meant more) mentioned that there were reports that the Wheaton arm could work with the Well Tempered, but I have never heard of any other arms with it. Pklieger's suggestion is your best bet, probably better than the many tweaks for this arm (some of which I tried when I owned a WTT years ago).
Well-tempered offers an upgrade with a fountainhead base, black tonearm and platter upgrade. It makes a huge improvement but for the money you're better off trading up to the reference model. That's what I did. I've never seen a different brand of arm on any well-tempered table.
