Yes, they are better sounding. And the arm is much easier to use- well, it just feels a lot better when using. The Simplex always feels awkward and choppy in handling. I suppose it is what one gets use to as well. But I was mainly commenting on musical qualities.. looks like the larger arm and platter of the Amadeus are best. That's why I wouldn't mess with the LTD arm and the Simplex. The Amadeus might also be the last table you buy.
