How to choose an upgraded tonearm.
Forget my suggestion. I understand that it's now being made in Russia, not England.  
How to choose an upgraded tonearm.
Whatever you buy, make sure that it's adjustable. That is: VTA, VTF, azimuth, anti-skating (if applicable). If you're prepared to accept a little quirkiness, you can take advantage of the greatest bargain in high end: the Trans-Fi Terminator, an ...
