Tonearm Suggestions


I have limited knowledge on tonearms and need suggestions on a tonearm new or used on a $1000 budget (max) that will out perform my modifed RB-300 with drop counterweight, VTA adjuster and VdH wire.

The cartridge I use is a Grado Reference so it will have to be lightweight to limit that infamous "Grado Dance". I also use a Golden Cross phono cable and the table is similar to a Linn Sondek

I thought maybe Hadcock or Morch because their light but thats pushing the limit if bought new.

Any other suggestions would be helpful.

Hi pauly

Thanks for the suggestions when you say the Morch out performs a Rega do you mean a modified version.

Mine has vdh wire, cardas clips, vta adjuster and heavyweight. Also is the Morch suitable for a suspended table?
Hi Marakanetz

I"m not sure I follow you perhaps you could elaborate.

My table doesn't have an armboard it is connected directly to the subchassis. The subchassis is made of metal and also contains the bearing housing making it quite heavy.
