I sold my Acos Lustre GST1 about 30 years ago. I wish I hadn't, so easy to set up, easily adjustable everything. Been looking for one again.
I'm reasonably happy with my Ortofon RS212 and TD124 II, Not put LP's on for some years. Must get round to it.

No real aspirations. I already own three quality arms:
Breuer Dynamic 5A
Brinkmann 10.5
Ikeda-modified Ortofon 309i
plus several SMEs.

I want an SME V and have done since it came out. My 309 is brilliant and I love it, but it’s not a V.
One day...

I was talking with a friendly, very knowledgeable and respected dealer a few days ago about arms and part of the conversation was about SME V arms. His view was their performance and clarity can vary greatly, he says this is primarily due to the difficulty setting them up in production with the spring mechanism, and if it is not right they can sound a little lack lustre, SME IV's do not have this issue. So if you go for one audition it specifically to ensure it sounds right for you in your TT.
Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.

I really love ❤️ my Glanz MH-94S! It‘s an „old-school“ tonearm made completely from stainless steel, is a joy to use, easy to set up, gives every possibly adjustment (including azimuth!) and sounds simply magnificent!
I‘ve owned quite a lot of tonearms including Linn Ittok, Ekos, Well-tempered, SME V and M2-9r, even an EMT 929 but the Glanz easily beats everyone! The only downside is the price.
Currently it sits on my (new) Technics 1200G and makes my SPUs sing 🎶.

Look also at the Ammonite Audio tonearm base how it fits perfectly and looks magnificent!

Not a fan of SME V having owned one, just not to my taste.
Have no further aspirations for a tonearm having bought a Sindre with Bergmann's wonderful air fed linear tracker.
