My GAE is fitted with an Ortofon Per Windfeld and it is superb. It recently was fitted with a KAB fluid damper that does no harm. The headshell makes a difference too, I have settled on the Yamamoto HS-2S carbon. I also changed arm wire, but went back to stock believe it or not. I also have a VPI Prime with two arms a 3D and a Metal both fitted with the dual pivot mod and a Eagle/Roadrunner and triple belts for speed stability. The two decks are very close performance wise.
