I'll throw my hat in the ring and say that the Thales Easy is one fine tonearm. I have it mated to a modded out VPI Scout in a separate tonearm pod and this thing sings. Eliminating the tracing distortion inherit with pivoted arms has been a revelation. I have a Benz Micro Wood with ML stylus on it running into a Sutherland Engineering Little Loco phono stage and am gobsmacked every time I sit down for a listen and I've been spinning vinyl for 35+ years. Of course, YMMV...
