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

Great stuff gang, would the cantilever on my Grado Platinum be considered high or low compliance? High meaning stiff (not good on a low mass tonearm) and low meaning cushioning (what I assume to be good, to dampen the blows per se) Or am I just confused.
Kind regards,
Michael
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.
