Jelco Tone Arms

Hello all, I am looking to communicate with anyone who has purchased and is using a Jelco Tone Arm. I would also love to know which cartridges you are using and what your experience has been. I have been taking a look at the Jelco SA-370H arm. I understand that some of these tone arms are hard wired so that a standard plug in cable can't be used unless the arm is modified. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I have settled on a Goldring 1042 tracking with 1.25 gr on a PT-9 arm. The combo is wonderful on my set-up, top to bottom a great performer. This cart has out performed an AT150mlx, a Denon DL160 and the next best Ortofon 2m Bronze on my turntable, a VPI HW19. While all the other carts were very nice and I could live with any of them the Gring sounds and tracks best. I also have other less expensive. like the Shure M97xe that also worked well. I am adding the Pete Riggles adjuster also in a few weeks.
Good luck and happy listening.
