Wilson Benesch Tonearms

[Blowfly]

Has anyone heard or used a Wilson Benesch tonearm on an LP12?

My brother has had an Act 2.0 fitted to his deck recently to replace an Ittok LVII and I plan to visit him in a few weeks and have a jolly good listen!

He says it has really tightened up the sound but retained the lovely LP12 fluidity that we all love.

I have an Ittok LVII on my deck which I am thinking about getting re-wired / Skaled next year but this might be an interesting alternative perhaps....?

There have been a few articles regarding the Wison Benesch tonearm on a Sondek, and there are pictures of this combination posted on the internet also. For the most part, this Wilson tonearm is considered a good product by many people, although I have never heard it on any turntable.

Maybe you can find additional information about the Wilson Benesch by conducting an internet search. However, you might find a really decent second hand Linn Ekos II tonearm as well.

Good luck
