A couple of other arms I'm considering now..

A Grace 747 (on our classified section for $300, never been mounted)

or a new Origin Live OL1, this is basically a dressed down Rega 250 (available OL for $240)

and of course the SME 3009S2..looks like it would be around $325 (used)

or a Linn Basik LVX for $175( used)

and if I could find Jim's suggestion of Sumiko Premier MMT although I can't find any info or price OL for this.

I really need help with this guys, I would like to match the quality of the arm to the deck and not spend any more than what the table will return sonically, however, I am willing to spend a bit to max. out the SQ of the TT.

Thanks, LDB
