If your table doesn't come with the mid-level tonearm base (3 models), consider purchasing one. A 309 is a solid choice, you probably will not have to add weight to the suspesion using a 309, the tables are usually set up that way. If your in the States, a new SME can be aquired at a fair discount overseas. A wide variety of cartridges will work on that arm.
Recommendations for Sota Star
I just purchased a Sota Star. This will be used in conjunction with a Conrad Johnson phono pre, CJ pre, and CJ power. Interconnects are Stealth PGS gold and speakers are Tannoy Turnberrys.
I love a sweet, relaxed, warm sound and am now looking for an arm and cartridge to give me just that. :Listening? Primarily soft jazz (Diana Krall, Holly Cole, Melody Gardot, etc.) and classical. Budget? Up to $2k for a used arm and $1k for a used (maybe new) cartridge.
Any suggestions or experiences put forth will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
