Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay

Acos Lustre GST-801, claim to fame is magnetic stylus force and magnetic anti-skate.

Hopping about, getting ready to pick the rear arm of 2 arm deck. Use for existing Shure 97xe and V15VxMR, both with their dynamic stabilizer brush, and AT440ml (no brush), and NEW Mono Cartridge.

I think I may have the original tonearm lift, and that is the weak point in this, which is not a big deal. The original headshell is not that light mass wise. Without wires and hardware is 9.2 grams. Will be a 15 gram or more so if you add up the rest. As far as the additonal weights those can easily be made in a machine shop if that is holding you back, that is what I did. Great arm, won't be releasing it anytime soon!
