SME Tonearms of Canada - Alfred and Company that sell new and refurbish SME


Does anyone have experience with SME Tonearms of Canada smetonearms.com. They seem to know their stuff; experience of the ages and are absolute about what a NEW SME arm needs, starting with a rewire. 
Any thoughts from members who have bought from them, know them, experienced it first hand???

Yes I,m very happy with the sound; before this I had a borrowed Micro Seiki 505 arm for a couple of months on a recenlty aquiered Technics Sp10 Mk2.  The Micro Seiki arm had its original  internal wire and  I was using a Audioquest amazon silver phono cable.  The Sme 3009 with the single run of cable from Headshell/Cart to the RCA's ( Cardas 33awg OFC ) is so much better in low level details and dynamics, and I have not even installed the SME Fd200 fluid damper kit on the arm. Same Headshell and Cartridge used int this comparasion.  I think is not the diifrence in the type of cable but just the fact that there is no joint or middle conector in the way of the signal.
@vinny55 Yes I,m sure he is. I just corresponded by email with him a couple of weeks ago about the serial number of the arm I bought from him in January. I would just pick up the phone and give him a call, I spoke with him twice over the phone and had good conversations and advice from him.I think he also has an ebay store. Good luck!
When you call Alfred he is most likely to be the one answering,
from what I can tell he enjoy's the banter.
