Reed 2G vs 3P…..Opinion please!


Folks,

I am considering these arms for my soon to arrive tw-acustic GT2 turntable. Anyone with direct experience, please chime in. I would also appreciate feedback on your choice of cart with either of these arms.

Thank you!

Can you adjust the load? What's the output?

Hi, with a current amplification phono you don't need to adjust the load, and the output is a function of the cartridge's internal impedance. This is a pretty handy property in practice.

The only picture is the front and it looks like a cheap plastic box.

Good news: the chassis is metal, not plastic. Nice paint too.

The feet are made with acorn bolts - delivering state of the art resonance control.

Interestingly, Konus Audio electronics are some of the least external vibration sensitive components I've heard. The internal circuits are all suspended inside the chassis and don't require external resonance control - first party or aftermarket.

Cost no object design for sure!

You might find this review interesting. Roy Gregory compares the Vinyle 3000 MC favorably against the CH Precision P1 + X1 power supply. Worth keeping in mind the Vinyle is $6,595 and I believe the CH P1+X1 is a little south of $50k.

Hope that helps. It sounds like current amplification phonos may be new to you; hit me up if you'd like to hear one for yourself.
