I have experiences of using the Ruby Z and SS Sussaro MKII on an SME V arm with excellent results. Although not a 309, I think the general nature of sound traits exhibited by the SME 3 and V series are similar.
Best Cartridge for SME309 arm
I need some advice - I am in the middle of upgrading my analog front and will shortly be using SME12 with 309 arm wired with crystal cable.
I have a short list of cartridges I am considering:
1. Hana Umami Red
2. Dynavector Te Kaitora Rue
3. Soundsmith Paua 2 SE
4. Benz Micro Ruby Z (L or H)
Does anybody have any experience with any of those carts with SME arms? I believe all on this list are compliant with 10g SME arm. I want to make sure the resonance stay way below audible frequencies.
Thank you for all recommendations. Merry Christmas!
