The Studietto was available without the T5 arm. Goldmund supplied one of two armboards, an SME or a Linn type. They were round two piece aluminum.
I had a Zeta on mine and it was nice, but you had to deal with the suspension. The most popular way was to defeat the springs entirely with sorbothane pucks. Not such a big deal, really.
Early versions of the Studio had Pabst motors. The later JVC motors are more desirable. I believe all the Studiettos had the JVC, but I'm not positive. Almost the entire table is made out of methacrylate. Some people think it's dark sounding. I think it's more neutral than an aluminum platter.
In the past few years I was considering another one, but I don't want to mess with the T5 any more than I did 27 (or whatever) years ago. If this is owned by a friend, maybe it would be better to pass and avoid possible hard feelings? For $2K there are some pretty good vintage DDs available.
