Yeah, Technics EPA-100 ('10.5 inch) tonearm was great with its unique counterweight to deal with cartridges with difference compliance. The EPA-100 mkII is the best Technisc ever made. New tonearms does not have that opion for some reason :(
If you like it search for Stanton 981 or SC-100 W.O.S. and you'll be on heaven. My choice is CS-100 WOS and i highly recommend Pickering XSV-3000 for anyone with a budget under $400 for amazing MM. And for the budget over $1k the Grace F-14 would be my recommendation of the high compliance MM for the same Technics tonearm.
P.S. I've been looking for a lighter mass arm and finally bought Denon DA-401 to try, love the design.
I cannot get over how good this old Pickering cartridge I have sounds with this arm as if it was made for the arm and table. Has anyone else thought about this?
