Reed L 12", Moonlight White edition, CTN wiring

The Reed arm installed in this new solid hard plinth is simply stunning performance. It bested a lot of arms I sold and heard before. It sound big open and solid with great 3d imaging. Bass is powerful.

Reed L 12", Black edition, C37 WBT wiring

Just returned from the weekend demonstration of our 12" arm. We had direct comparisons of the Reed 12" arm against a Rockport tangential and Tri-Planar arms. The Reed arm performed admirably.
It was unanimous among the attendees that they all preferred the Reed arm over the Tri-Planar. The Rockport-Reed arm comparison was was less clear but it WAS clear the the Reed arm was very competitive sound wise with the Rockport arm. All in all, it was a big success for the Reed arm. In fact, they asked me to loan the arm for further listening.

Reed L 9.5", Black edition, C37 WBT wiring

Fantastic, I am very very pleased !
Just a short feedback after an initial 3 days listening period. The tonearm is fabulous. I know this is only 'cosmetics' but I am impressed by the finish which is absolutely on a par with the Schroeders, SME, Graham, Wheaton etc.
The sound is equally impressive. Very dynamic, deep controlled bass, a perfect 'rythm mashine'. The soundstage is very good and wide. It handles all kinds of music with great authority. I am convinced it is right up in the same league with the above 'competition'.
The set up was very easy. I used my 'Dr. Feickert' protractor tool. Even without adjustment slots in the headshell (just round holes) the needle hit the two measurement spots on the protractor scale (Baerwald, Loefgren? I don't know) with 100 % accuracy!
On top of all that, dealing with you guys via email was an absolute joy. Very professional people.

Reed 12", Gold Matte edition, C37 WBT wiring

Your arm sounds great I try it with several carts (Koetsu-Zyx universe-v d Hul). And now I use it with a Kiseki-Agaat mod. by v d Hul and that sounds very nice. A lot of detail and a big soundstage.

Reed 12", Black edition, C37 Standard wiring

I first installed the Phase Tech 3 G and put on the 'HIFI TEST RECORD' to 'mesure' the tracking-ability of the combination. To my suprise I got no more the 50 microns (without the 'buzzing') and thought that something was wrong. Then (to check) I installed the Phase-Tech on my Triplanar To my even greater suprise the Triplanar got also only 50 microns 'clean'. BTW the compl. of the Phase 3G is 10um/mN. I hope that this is the 'reason'.
I then installed my Ortofon Jubilee on 'your' tonearm and the combination played 80 micron withouth 'protest'.
So the (provisional) result is:'not a bad result in comp. with a tonearm that cost 5000 Euro.
