Reed 2G

Reed 2G is tonearm model, which merges the best features of Reed 2A and Reed 3Q tonearms and adds a few new ones.

Reed 2G is very easily adjusted and can be mounted to virtually any turntable with or without an adapter.

As other our tonearms, Reed 2G features 0.2 mm precision VTA adjustment and tonearm’s height can be adjusted from 28 mm to 48 mm.

Tonearm has cardanic bearing system: vertical axis has thrust rotation bearings and horizontal axis is based on thrust pivot bearings (a bit close to Reed 3P). Such bearing construction eliminates bearing wobbling, which has a great impact to the quality of the sound.

All Reed 2G tonearms have unique azimuth adjustment system, which allows implementing a tonearm with replaceable armwand. Replaceable armwand feature allows you to change tonearm effective length and effective mass with no hassle. For connecting the armwand and tonearm body, high quality LEMO connector is used.

As well as all our tonearms, Reed 2G has replaceable headshells.

Reed 2G can be wired with Finewire C37 cable or have a 5-pin DIN connector for a custom cabling solution.

Tonearm’s antiskating is magnetic and is similar to one used in Reed 3P tonearm.

Reed 2G with the laser option

Laser-enabled Reed 2G version continues tradition of Reed 3Q and helps audio enthusiasts to set up their systems using latest technology. Calibrated laser add-on, used in this tonearm version, allows user to adjust VTA and azimuth quickly and precisely.

Expensive, but it works
The good parts: Yup, this works with DP alt mode, single cable use works for most devices I tried (steam deck, laptop, odin mini 2) even without the hub powered through the power in on the hub, I even got it working without external power to either the hub or my small usb-c monitor. However, some devices like my phone likely didn't give enough power for it to work without another power source. On my phone it worked for some usb devices without external power, but the dp alt mode didn't do work. DP alt on my phone works just fine with external power connected to the hub. Powering it with a small but powerful power bank worked fine, but lower power power banks might not keep up especially if the monitor isn't getting it's own power. It only takes a watt or two of power for the hub itself from some quick and dirty measurements charging my laptop through the pd-in on the hub. As for the rest of it, the three usb 3 ports means you should be enough to get by for any use case, though you may need more dongles or adapters to get the type of connections you need, but quite usable as-is for a lot of purposes. Basically it does what it says, there really is no other hub currently that can do pd alt mode, only big docks which need power supplies. The ok parts: *When it isn't powered* I noticed that with a monitor already plugged in, plugging it into a device would lead to the monitor not being initialized. But plugging the hub into the device first before connecting the monitor worked. No issue when it was powered. You can use this to get display out and charge with a Nintendo switch, but if it's not powered through the pd-in it probably wont switch to TV mode and output video, not sure if that's because of power or software reasons. This is a nitpick, but if you care about the feel or aesthetic it's noticeably bland. The case is plastic and there seems to be no weighting on the inside, it's very light, which can feel cheap but it's not like adding weights would functionally make it better, the case also has a bit of a harsh feeling where it's joined, but it does feel solid and durable enough. It's clearly function over form, just barely meets the minimum bar imo. The bad part: You already saw, but the price is a bit steep for a hub (at $80). I'd love to see it at 60 or even 40 instead, I hope more similar hubs pop up for competition. In summary: It does what it says, if you know you want this and what it is then get it, I feel like it shouldn't cost this much, but it's quite usable and for now it's the only option for a DP alt mode hub. Minus a half star each for subpar presentation and price 4/5

Great for AR Glasses
This USB hub has been great for me! It's taken me so long to finally find a stable setup to allow using my XREAL Air glasses, peripherals, and charger at the same time. I've used this both with my phone and ROG Ally and I have not once had a problem. I even found that my ROG Ally manages to get the full supported PD of 65W, as long as I power the hub with a 100W PD charger. That said though, using a 65W PD charger is still more than adequate to charge the device while using various peripherals and a USB-C display. Previously I used USB-C hubs with HDMI out and another device to merge the HDMI output with a USB-A connection into a single USB-C cable that I use for my AR glasses. This setup worked, but would increasingly stutter/freeze the longer I used it forcing me to constantly unplug and re-plug it in. In trying to find a solution that didn't split and merge back the display signal with USB data/power, this hub was the only one I found that wasn't thunderbolt 3/4. I will say that I wish the cable to the host device was either longer and less rigid, or shorter with an optional extension cable. An ethernet port would have also been nice, but using up one of the USB-A ports with a USB ethernet adapter works if needed. Plus, if I wanted ethernet with it, then a dock would probably have been a better option over a hub anyway.

One of the only dongles that supports a usb-c display (alt mode) AND Power Delivery!
If you are like me and have laptop that only has a couple of usb-C ports (one of which has to be used for charging), but want to free up a port, this is the ONLY dongle I have found that does the job flawlessly AND affordably. The dongle has a usb C port. for power delivery as well as a second usb C that not only supports data, but has the necessary specs to support a usb C monitor (via DP alt mode). This is only dongle I have come across that has the necessary hardware to support a usb C monitor for less than 100 bucks.

(Steam Deck Verified) Works like a charm on Dual QHD 2560x1440 (1440p)
This could be one of those reviews where I tell you how well this works for work Zoom Meetings and the Monthly TPS Excel reports. But my primary concern was the Steam Deck my secondary concern was being able to see more work. Luckily it worked for both. The Steam Deck is capable of pushing to both 1440p monitors without any issues. I don’t have many AAA games, but if it helps: Hogwarts Legacy ran at full speed on auto detect (medium) graphics. No ghosting, no tearing, no lag. I tried No Man Sky for something with very high particle and blooming. Still ran like a champ. Mafia Definitive Edition runs like Estes Kefauver at a meeting of Murder Incorporated. If it runs on the Steam Deck this hub can push it… Remember my monitors are only QHD 1440p. One laptop worked amazingly. 1440p Zoom Calls, Excel Spreadsheets as far as the eyes could see. BOTH EMAIL AND CHAT OPEN ON THE SAME SCREEN! *Car salesman roof slap* This baby has so many pixels. The other laptop didn’t support video over USB-C nor Power Delivery. The USB hub worked very well as a USB hub though. The USB ports are all fast and reliable. My USB 3.x devices have varying speeds. I don’t think any device measured the full through put, but given the equipment I have to work with (it could be the equipments fault) I am happy with a 4.8 out of 5. Using the power delivery port on this hub will allow you to charge attached devices. Steam Deck charges, Laptops with USB-C Power Delivery charge. Laptops without power delivery will not charge. The ports with pictures of keyboards, please plug your USB Keyboard and Mouse in these ports. These ports are USB 2.0. They will run slow if any other devices are plugged into them. If your device does not support Thunderbolt, Alt HDMI, or Displayport over USB-C, You will not be able to use the video ports.

Great product, had an issue, they took care of it.
Purchased this to allow me to run one cable to a laptop and have monitor/power/external accessories all connect easily. After a few days I noticed my monitor would disconnect and I would need to unplug and replug the device. Reached out to Anker support and they responded quickly to help diagnose and then sent a replacement unit very quickly. Was seriously impressed with the support and follow up. Item has been working perfectly since - makes a great clean setup.
