A number of years ago, I had a Helius Orion tonearm. It was the most problematic component I ever had. It went back to England a number of times, and in the end still had binding bearings. Maybe they figured it out, but for ME, I wouldn't get near a Helius arm again.
Upgrade tonearm
Looking to upgrade my tonearm on my Sota Cosmos IV. I am currently using an SME 309 with Ortofon Kontrapunkt B cartridge. I also have a Lyra Delos and others. I do like the SME, but am considering an upgrade to get into supertable status. Considerations so far are Helius Omega, Basis Vector IV, Triplanar and Graham Phantom 2. Anything else I should consider that would work especially well on a Cosmos?
I will probably upgrade my cartridge later, so dont feel restricted to my current cartridges.
Of course, I have no opportunity to audition, so making a multi thousand dollar purchase by asking others is a little daunting, but, it is what it is.
