Reed 2G vs 3P…..Opinion please!

@lewm @mijostyn

Thank you for chiming in…I am leaning towards 2G as well along with extra Headshell with Azimuth Adjustment. The arm length is 10.5” with Cocobolo wood - 14gm in mass weight.

As far Cart choices, I am considering; Fuuga, Hana Umami, Stein Aventurine 6 and Etsuro Urushi Bordeaux.

@rauliruegas

I am very familiar with Hana Umami Red. I enjoyed it very much with my SME 15AV TT. It’s one of those cart’s that I am very comfortable using as a base line while I tinker with other carts.

Thanks for your recommendation, I will check it out. 

Update: Reed 3P tonearm ordered. I am grateful to @fsonicsmith and @gestalt for their invaluable feedback and consultation. The arm is likely to be paired with Miyabi Labs Fuuga MC cart and Konus Audio’s Vinyle 3000MC phono. 

@gestalt 

I am pretty confident and looking forward to seeing this through! 

@gestalt

Colin, Thank you for de-mystifying the virtues of amazing Konus phono for our readers. When I heard this phono in your amazing system and again at AXPONA 2023, I knew this would be the phono to own. I prefer a no frill, plug n play phono that’s immune to any MC cart and sounds crazy good for the money. And this is certainly one of those phono’s and since I can’t decide between orange and black, let’s get a extra top cover in black so I can change it on fly to contrast with SRA isolation platform underneath my GT2 😉
