RE: Suggestions for An Arm Upgrade

Hey Joe,

I do not know what your budget is but I bit the bullet and upgraded from a heavily modified Origin Live RB250 to a Woody String Theory 9" tonearm. I know he also makes a 12". Both have gotten rave reviews and I will tell you on my system the difference was dramatic.

I have a VPI MkIV and use a Shelter 501 mkII cartridge with a Sound Smith modified cantilever/needle upgrade. Pete Riggle the maker of this tonearm provides an excellent setup manual and is always available when questions/problems arise. Plus, he modifies the tonearm to accomodate the cartridge you plan on running.

Take your time and make sure you research the compatibility of your cartridge to your tonearm.

Good Luck,

Richard
