    It looks Stax like to me.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    The UA-7 is sought after. Supposed to be great with MCs.

    I don't believe it's a UA-7, I just bought one and have its big brother the UA-70, it doesn't have a string and weight antiskate but some parts look Stax like so may be another model. The arm lift is not UA-7/UA-70 either.
    The arm wand is not removeable on that arm as the UA-7/70 is.

    I have a feeling it's an old Sony of some sort. The closest I can find is a PUA-114 but the bias arrangement is different.

    The Stax UA-7 available in the UK didn't use a string and weight antiskate, but used a pivoted weighted lever design.

    But that said, the arm shown in the OP is not a Stax design.
