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 that its lift is worthless, magnetic functions unreliable and counterweights inadequate. Long instead of ''short'' such that they can be moved nearer to the pivot. To correct this the magnetic VTF function should be removed such that the counterweights can be moved nearer to the pivot. Aka ''manual'' VTF adjustment is better. I ''of course'' prefer FR-64 S.
