Reed is a Lithuanian maker of turntables and tonearms, established in 2007 by designer and owner Vidmantas Triukas near Kaunas. The company is known above all for its tonearms, which include both radial (pivoted) designs and a tangential-pivot model, and it has added its own Muse turntables to build complete analogue front ends.
Range & what it's known for
The tonearm range covers the radial 1H, 2B, 2G and 3P, the last offered in 9.5, 10.5 and 12.5 inch lengths, while the 5A and 5T form the flagship tier. The 5A is the signature piece, a tangential-pivot arm that steers the headshell to follow the groove and so reduce tracking-angle error across the side. Turntables are grouped under the Muse name, with the Muse 1C, Muse 3A and Muse 3C currently listed, each able to take Reed arms.
Who owns it and where it's made
Reed belongs to Vidmantas Triukas, its founder, who brings an acoustic engineering background and long experience in high-end audio. Design and production are based at the company's workshop in Kaunas district, Lithuania, and the products reach other countries through a network of distributors.
The lineup in this catalog
Turntables and tonearms. The least expensive item currently sells for about EUR 8,000, and the flagship pieces exceed EUR 30,000.
Who it's for
Reed builds both arms and complete decks, so a record player can come entirely from one specialist. A buyer can start with a radial arm such as the 3P on an existing turntable, choose a longer arm length for a larger plinth, and later move to the tangential 5A or a Muse turntable. It is the brand to consider when tracking geometry and arm choice matter more than anything else in the record player.
