SME FDIV Kit For SME 309 Tonearm

Thanks Peter you were a great help. It is all setup now. Tketcham I only used it for VTA adjustment and cannot believe how low I had setup my Delos cartridge. I did it on the fly but you will need to be carefull and have to go very slowly to adjust it. For the upward movement it is very easy. For the downward movement you will have to push the tonearm down. Hope this helps in making your decision on getting this kit. For the life of this tonearm, if you are going to keep it for a long time and like to listen to different cartridges, this is a no-brainer.

Glad it worked out for you.

Good Listening

Peter

PS what phono stage are you using ?

It is Aesthetix Rhea. Love it.

Thanks for the insight on the damping kit. If I read about a few more recommendations to use the FDIV for VTA adjustment, I'll be hoping for some overtime to get one and try it out.

Regards,
Tom

Tom,

I'd say that the VTA adjustment works well but only for upward movements, the pushing down seems a little "clumsy" for such a well engineered piece. Still the SME arms are my all time favorites.

Good listening

Peter
