[QUOTE="Agaton Sax, post: 705979, member: 2475"] Grace arms date back to the 1950s. They were worldwide probably the biggest producers of tonearms deep into the 1970s. They had early fluid damped arms,uni pivots and their famous gimbal bearings.Even a wood unipivot . The G707/ Supex 900 was Linn's preferred arm/cart before the Ittok arrived in all its resonating glory. Andre was quite impressed with the jewelled bearings.I am totally gobsmacked by the sound of this arm,table combination. It certainly plays way above my mint TD124/FR64S or EMT 948. Steerpike,even worse:They got the arm geometry wrong.The pivot/spindle distance is out by 3mm from the Grace spec. It is simply impossible to align a stereo cartrige in a standard headshell correctly to any of the 4 accepted standards. Andre actually shortened the new tube by 3mm to allow proper alignment.
