The Reed 5T is an extraordinary looking arm, looks like the creation of a mad eccentric genius.

I'm Dave.
Being a retailer for decades, I have 'owned' numerous arms, too many to list but the only one I 'aspire' to is the Fidelity Research FR-64S.
Fortunately, I do own one..
right now, I aspire to own and use:
Timestep tonearm
The new Glanz
I'd like to test run:
the top SAT - I need to understand why it costs what it does
I await user reviews of the Wilson Benesch Graviton, as seeing it at Munich made it very aspirational....indeed
The Helius Phaedra looks interesting too

I should never have sold my Breuer 8 Dynamic. I made a serious financial gain and concurrently lost a crucial aspect of musical enjoyment. Nothing else came close.

I believe it is a unipivot in the sense of the arm weight being supported by a single pivot pin and thrust cup, but stability is provided by a small ball-race bearing fitted around the pivot pin, which contacts with a tubular extension of the thrust cap.
Hope that makes sense.
