I've had a Grace 707 arm of 20 years and sold it; Maplenoll Ariadne air bearing arm/ turntable--the best I've had for sound up to now; VPI Scout w/ arm; VPI Classic w/ arm; Avid Diva II w/ Origin Live Silver II arm; Super Lenco TT w/ OL Silver II arm; And then the same Lenco TT w/ Trans-Fi Terminator arm with all the upgrades. The Lenco w/ Terminator was the overall second best set-up. It did have the best dynamics and clarity of all of them. I'll second the Trans-Fi Terminator for overall sound and use. VERY TOUGH to find a TFT on the used market. Mine was $1275 with everything including all parts of the air pump and delivery system. I was hoping to at least equal the Maplenoll TT/ arm in sound and have it be less potentially dangerous to the cantilever in the air went out. NEVER a problem with the TFT as it requires very little air to float the arm.
May have one for sale in the very near future. I had to spend quite a bit more to beat the TFT.
