Is anyone in vinyl land familiar with ADC tonearms


I have a graphite one and am quite pleased with it.(Mounted on Tarantella) How does it compare with newer arms?
Thanks for you help

May I suggest you just try it and not ask anyone here. I don't mean that as a wise ass remark, its just that if I have it sitting here in front of me, and I think it might work, I usually try it. Your not going to hurt anything, and I personally happen to think it will work fine, but after that treatise that Sean wrote up there, I would defer to him. George Merrill is a good source though, and if you talk to him, tell him Pancho from 20+ years ago say hello. He is good audio.
Hi Mp: basically you need to know the effective mass of the arm & effective mass/compliance of the cartridge first. There are "general rules" as to what works best with what. I've read about this recently so I'll try to remember (for you) where I found the info. It was on a website: I think I have a hardcopy somewhere.
I found it - Refer to this link: Galen Carol Audio - tonearm / cartridge compatibility.
