The Sara is very nice. It’s a rebranded Uniarm. Presumably Johnny7 sold the rights. It looks a bit better than the original in my view, but I think only available as a Rega fit so wouldn’t work with a Keel.

I really liked my Sara, but still want and found used one in Canada paid $2000 USD. I should have it in about 5 to 6 days. Going to use with AT-OC9XML that I been using for 2 weeks on the Sara will also give ZYX Bloom3 a go. Any idea's on others cartridges to try.

With respect to which carts to use with your Javelin - I would stick with what you know to start with. This will allow you to judge more accurately what you think of the Javelin. Let us know how it all pans out.

Well I got the Javelin all setup with a ZYX Bloom3. What pain in the___ arm to setup. The Roksan Sara was so much easier. The Javelin is the better arm it's that I hear more detail the highs are just better. Great tonearm, I'm very with it.

Hi Clive.
I've got a photo of ten under construction and guessing only one original and a few for freinds I can't imagine more than 15-20 if that. :shock:
