New tonearm: wish to upgrade from DV 505

The advice above is good. Try those and the end result maybe totally satistying. If it isn't and you still need want a new arm that is an upgrade, buy a Graham Phantom MK II. In my 35+ years in this hobby not one other Audio product has universally received such high praise from hobbiest and reviewers around the world. Any others that came close (o.e.g. Quad 57) have had limitations. The Graham Phantom MK II can be the last arm you'll ever need to buy.

You so right and I did purposely overstate it.I do remember the Quad 57 getting universal praise immediately, I'm that old, and look just how well owners and others are still praising these Quad 57's. While I'm jumping the gun on the Graham Phamton MKII, its just my way of stating just how good I think this arm is, IMHO. You can waste a lot of time trying to find a better arm.

Quad 57 is one of the all time greats, a legend, period.
