View Full Version : Mission 774 tonearm

This is a difficult sale. I love this arm but recent acquisitions have caused this to be put in the cupboard.
These arms don't come up all that often and in this condition I would say it is a rarity.
The Counterweight is perfect. No sagging. It has one paddle and one bias weight. The wand is in as new condition too.
The wand has been recently rewired by Johnny at Audio Origami.
There is no play in the bearings and everything moves as smoothly as can be.
I don't think there is a better tonearm for under £500. It really is magnificent.
I'll take £275 Delivered by RM recorded
£250 Collected.
Alternatively, I could be interested in a DAC. It would need to have USB input. A PX could be arranged or a straight swap.
Offers by PM only please.
Thanks
Oliver

Good price i think. These go for a lot more in this condition.

Hmm. Do I need four? :) Damn good arm. Very capable and versatile. Nothing else comes close at the money!

Put it on another deck? You'll have trouble finding another good example at a sane price and the itch to use one again will get to you! :eek:
Don't forget, you'll be wanting to try a Decca sooner or later (we all do) and the 774 is ideal! :)
I would not sell that arm Oliver. I have heard what they can do on a number of TT and because they can be damped are so versatile.
Ali tait has one on a 401 with Benz gullwing and it is shockingly good!
I'd agree... if you dont NEED the money now, I would keep it

Why, do you want one?

I am thinking of picking one up for the Mission. You know how good that combo is! She will murder me though. 😂

Why do you want two decks, when you have already decided the Alphason is superior, will you really listen to the other?

Quite. I can't see the point in having two, particularly when one would always be superior.
I find it impossible to go backwards with SQ.
You could always give it to me for safe keeping :rolleyes:

Got a spare. No mad rush to sell though :).

It's always useful to have a spare.
