$2K? Get a good used SME V arm.
SME and OL tonearms....
I currently own an OL Zephyr but thinking about upgrading to something better with a 2k budget in mind. May possibly go the used route. Been thinking about the SME but have no personal experience with that line. Can I get some opinions on the differences between the SME 309, 310 or M2 series and the premium lineup of Origin Live tonearms like the Encounter, Illustrious or Conqueror?

I would highly recommend you to look for good used Reed 3P tonearm, because no other tonearm will give you full adjustment of your cartridge (not only VTA on the fly, but an Azimuth on the fly). Unique modern design and superb quality from Europe. Single wire from the cartridge pin to your phono stage. The new one is very expensive, but used '9 or '10.5 sample is something you can find for $2k probably. |
