I am in the same boat and while I'm saving up for the 12" Schick tonearm, my near term plan is to use a just acquired SME 3012, Series 2 tonearm and a Denon DL-103 mounted in a wood body. Total came to ~$1300.
tonearm + cartridge for custom lenco 75
Hey Analog lovers...
need your advise for nice tonearm and cartridge .
I bought a Lenco 75 (PTP4) + heavy plinth ,
which design to have 2 arms 9" and 12".
as understand ,good 12" long tonearms usually better then 9" arms in same price range .
especially for the Lenco 75.
so need your advise for a nice 12" tonearm and nice MC cartridge .
unless you think there's some nice 9" who could do the work.
my budget is 1200$ max for them both.
lower is better , would prefer to spend 800$ if the difference is not meaningful
12" options:
SAEC 308L
JELCO 750L (many says it good tonearm but it isn't true hi end arm).
9" :
Fidelity research 24
Saec 308N
SAEC 317
cartridge :
Denon 103R, AT 33 or OC9
Speakers:
Jbl L300
Amplifier:
SET 845 monoblocks
Pone stage: customize based on Tamura TKS 83 transformess
