I've just ordered a 12" Reed 2G tonearm for demonstrations, effectively replacing the rather wonderful Reed 3P that worked so beautifully on my reference Kenwood KD-990 deck. The 2G has a more conventional horizontal bearing, compared to the magnetic system in the 3P, but it does share the twin vertical bearing system with the 3P. So, there is more of a mechanical connection between the arm tube and the supporting structure, compared to the 3P. My new demonstration arm is 12", with Cocobolo arm wand, and I have also ordered a spare headshell so that swapping between mono and stereo will be relatively simple. Prices are more reasonable than or the 3P and start at £2895 including VAT for the 9.5" version, with options for 10.5" and 12" arm wands, various wiring options, as well as Reed's usual selection of wood arm wands.

See http://www.reed.lt/products/all/reed-2g for technical details.
