Could someone please enlighten me on which versions of 3009 are better? Thank you....
|
|
Alex, the best version would be the first (Series 1) version but these are very rare. Next best would be the pre-Improved Series 2, having metal knife-edge bearings. The Improved would be OK for light-weight, light-tracking MM carts, having been deve...

Romy, Just a few notes.... I did use the term "crappy" in the connection with the tonearm in an ironic sense. Have you lived so long among US Americans you lost your sense of irony? Also, i do not suggest crappy Phonostages, merely ones with low inpu...

People who read me site know that I am a big admirer of older SME arms 3012/3009. Everything is great on them except they have no objective VTA scale. The new SME arm: M2-12/9 has a fixing bolt that allows dial-in and to maintaining VTA very accurate...

Well, like in anything else there are two sides of the medal. I did not deal a lot with 3009. It is a fine arm. The very short time when I had the arm it impressed me as an arm identical to 3012 but with less developed bass. I did not get any s...

Hi, [quote user="Chirag"]103 or 103R + mass loaded SME headshell + 3012 or a 3009 + Seiki 1500 + hagerman opamp phono stage (good only with select parts and battery power) or an EAR 834 (with some mods) and some old...

With the recent changes on my configuration changes and employing the “End of the Live Phonostage”, in duty I re-thinked my analog playback. I got rid to arms and one deck, changed the mapping between the arms and phonostages and ended up with quite ...

Since the 2007-2008 alchemic music season and consequentially live FM season was over (the event I marked with my “End of the live Phonostage”) I have been spinning a lot of vinyl lately. So, I spent some time with different phono cables with my diff...

Since I left with only 3 arm for my TT I asked myself what arm I will use for my mono cartridge. I would like to have 12” arm an arm that is comfortable. I have an old 3009 but it is original vision Mk1. The collectors love it but I do not find...

Recently, I have become aware of a strange phenomenon after lifting the tonearm at the end of the run-out groooves. The record surface noise keeps going when the stylus is no longer in contact with the record. I am using a Garrard 301 with SME 3...

Folks, This thread caught my attention, because here Romy waxes lyrically about the failings of the Denon Cartridges. Now I only consider ONE Denon worth bothering, the ORIGINAL 103, it is often inaccuratly called 103C. It has a medium compliance (ar...

I am all set with my reference arm but my dally arm with SME 3009/Otophone SPU Classic severely underperforms in my view. The arm use Otophone SPU Classic that is all together is OK balanced cartridge. Nothing overly exciting but more or less neu...

I think most plastics have trouble with UV, and some fungi are pretty tough, anyway. The "idea" for me is to put the LP in a machine, turn it on, and return soon to a clean, dry LP that's ready to play on my turntable in my high-demands hi-fi system...

what others say, I have used the following procedures to set my own "anti-skate" on my own pivoted tonearm: 1) level TT/platter 2) set-up arm/cartridge for minimal tracking error, including proper VTA/SRA and VTF 3) use ""blank" sections of (test) L...

I have no experiences or knowledge on this dependency but I have seen people who were trying to say that it exists. Perhaps is does exists but I feel that it exists only in the world of bad designs. Like the noisy TT could be “fixed” with arm with be...

Since Sound in new home is mostly set I kind lost interest to do anything “project-wise”. I play my music and I gradually tune ingredients to get the sonic mixture that I accustom to. Last two week I was slowly playing with my analog setup. Since...
