Which illustrates why interest in engineering and the sciences is in decline.I suppose a mythical dream deck would automatically adjust its VTF & Height?
It illustrates why people think sod this, I am buying a streamer
There is plenty of engineering & science in a streamer or is that your point?Which illustrates why interest in engineering and the sciences is in decline.

Adjusting VTA and azimuth is an arm issue rather than a deck issue.
If I could have a second turntable however at any price it would probably be an SME 30/12 with SME V. W
I am toying with getting a 12" Reed 3P as its mass is a reasonable 19g (heavier than my 12" Ace Anna) and it's a lovely looking and functional arm but I'm currently undecided, as a more massy (gimballed) arm may be a better bet.

Surely the 30/12 (if that's what it's called) has the Five-twelve (V12) arm, not the Five, which is 9". Oddly enough, the mass of the V12 is only 1 gramme more than the V at 12g, so not the best arm for some very low compliance coils. Nice looking though!
Unless they have significantly redesigned/improved it I would steer well clear. One of he poorest sounding tonearms I have heard. It was the reason I gave up on Reed. Look at a 12" Schröder CB. That will sound good.
Bit surprised at that, Graham *. I thought they were well considered in the unipivot world. A chap in my locality uses one on his Raven AC and likes it. I shall have a look at the Schroder, though I'm not sure at the mo' whether I'm going for another unipivot.
* Of course, there are sonic benefits to simplicity, and the bells and whistles available on the 3p do err on the side of complex, I s'pose.
I preferred the Reed to an SME V and a Morch. Not heard the Schroeder.
DP 8 lightweight in the bass? Not when I heard it!Thankfully, I got to experience all of those on Verdier and TW turntables. The Mörch DP8 was a nice tonearm but a little lightweight in the bass.

It was at Walrus where I compared them! The bass from the DP8 was phenomenal.Walrus Systems who used to be a retail shop in London, sadly now gone, but they were the UK agent for Mörch. They told me on a number of occasions that when they compared the Mörch tonearms with the SME 3012-R (on a Platine Verdier which they also sold) they lacked the bass and the authority delivered by the SME 3012-R. Don't get me wrong, the Mörch are really good tonearms and Mörch himself is a super nice man. I met him a few times over the years at various shows. I would take a Mörch over a Reed as well as many other of todays tonearms in a flash.

We need another Walrus in London
