SME Tonearm


I am having a Empire 208 TT refurbished. I also purchased a SME 3009 2 Improved to mount on the new plinth. I need advice on a phono cartridges in the $1000 range that will match up with the arm.

Here's a link to a chart to use as a basic aid/guide.

You will need the compliance and weight spec's of the cartridge you are considering (we have already established that the effective mass of your SME 3009 is 9.5 grams).
