I need a Tonearm opinion... Please


I guess I'm hoping some of you were audio fanatics from the late 70's to help with this question...

Years ago I sold a Syrinx PU-2 Tonearm to a friend on the East Coast.
In my opinion - at the time - it was one of the best tonearms available.

Right now I have a Rega 900 and I want to upgrade.

It's not easy to compare tonearms because so much affects things.
I have a Benz Moving Coil now and I will either get a new Benz or a Koetsu.

What is the general opinion of this group on the
Syrinx PU-2?
Compared to a Rega 900.....??
Compared to a PU-3...??? (He has one of those also)
Compared to something more modern like a Vector???

I don't think modern has much to do with it. Tonearm materials now are no different than what was available in the late 70's.

Both his Syrinx arms are in perfect condition and can be shipped in their original boxes.

Thanks,

Steve I think you should try the Koetsu.

I currently run both a Koetsu Rosewood/Morch and Benz Ref II/Morch on my table, and the Koetsu is pure magic. So much so that my Benz Ref II is up for sale ...
Thanks Pauly:

I was hoping to hear something like that from a Benz / Koetsu owner.
What is a Rosewood/Morch?
I heard of a Rosewood and Rosewood Signature.

Is it worth going for the signature? I think it's an extra $1K
That $1K is half the cost of a TO4 Turbo with ceramic bearings!! (My other addiction)
