Thales Simplicity, Tangential Pivoted, why not more attention?
I have a Thales Simplicity II and love it. It is extremely well built and the cartridge setup jig makes everything so simple. The support from Thales is also amazing. I got my arm used yet Thales was happy to send me a new hardware set and manual ...
