Tonearm sugestion


Hi, I’m a first time poster and seeking suggestions for tonearms and cartridges for a luxman pd441 table (just purchased with a Sme 3009 s2 arm)
The rest of the system is Revel Ultima gem speakers, Rel t7i sub and Peachtree nova 300 (next planed upgrade)
Haven’t hooked up my system in 20+ years but decided in setting up my old equipment this past winter and found that my old stereo system is tired and needs updating. So I’m on the long road of doing lots of research and making mistakes.
Spent 10 years in my youth dj’ing and I realized my hearing is gone in the upper register, because of, it might be a futile pursuit in trying to seek Hi-Fidelity reproduction from my equipment.
Any and all suggestions welcome on the whole system.

thanks all

I got 121a luxman.. it sound awesome with fidelity research fr24. if you need a mid compliance. it's often said it's as good as the Graham phantom. and it's easy to install with luxman. and very reasonably priced. I love it and it's my favourite setup now. the detail and separation. texture, musical. naturalness is phenomenal. 

 cart with tracking force around 1.5-1.75ish will do great. I run signet Mc and,  epc 205 cii on it. 

3009.  will sound pretty good with Stanton 681  or grace  f9 or shures v15. however... it's hard to get it to good shape.. and a very manual tonearm 

just some of my experiences hope they help


The Link is to a recent report on a Thread covering Japanese Vintage Turnables along with a few other types.
The recent report is produced by a individual who has extensive knowledge and experience of Cartridge > Arm >Turntable permutations from $70 000 down to a $1000+ I feel there might be information to be gathered from the reports made and those yet to come that might be very valuable to you inquiry.
It seems like to me your Turntable has a lot going for it.
A few careful choices made on supporting ancillaries and the permutation might show another raved about TT a clean set of heals.

In the mean time, a Service for the TT, especially investigating what can be dome with the Platter Spindle Bearing and Bearing Housing could prove to be a very valuable endevour.

If not already dealt with in the past, chooseing a method to support and isolate the Turnatable can offer very noticeable improvements that are well worth the investment of the time spent seeking the advice on how to achieve the set up.

I have two Luxman PD-444 and many arm bases for them. One of the best tonearm would be FR-64fx, for you it can be PRO version of this tonearm designed for radio deejays / broadcast. This is expensive tonearm!


Another great cheaper option is Denon DA-401 tonearm, this is a light mass tonearm.

What is your cartridge?
I'm sure that German forum has some interesting post but you need to know how to read German.

I would start by identifying which version of the SME 3009 S2 you have as they vary greatly in effective mass.
