Sme series 3 but get it rewired with a continuous run eliminating all those joints.
low mass tone arm suggestion sub $1k used
I’m adding another tone arm to my Garrard table. looking for a low mass arm 9" or 10", preferably with out the wires going through the bottom of the arm mount but not critical. I’d like to spend less then $1k used (I may stretch that for a quality used-new arm if a great deal lets say max $2k). This is not for supper critical listening I just want a low mass option for random low mass carts, I may run my older VDH MC 10 on it for example. I have a 12" Jelco 750L as my main arm but I don’t think the Jelco arms are particularly light enough for the low mass carts out there. So any suggestions used or new for that matter would be appreciated.

Some other options: 1. Replace main Jelco with the TK-850. Drop-in replacement. It is a substantial improvement soundwise and will elevate your perception of how good your rig is. George Merrill has the best price. 2. Put your 12" 750 Jelco on a pod at back of table behind plinth and using a light wood headshell, try the MC10 on it. 3. As 2 above but use lower compliance cartridges instead like a Decca. 4. Sell 750 and use an off-board pod for other 12" arms. 5. Drill bamboo for low mass 9" arm of your choice. |
