SME 3009 Tonearm rewire

Has anyone recently used SME Certified (Alfred) to upgrade their Tonearm to one piece high quality rewire? Reviews on their site stop in 2012. Does anyone have other suggestions for a one piece rewire of an SME 3009 Tonearm? 
 

Thanks

Don't waste money on that. Ortofon wire there is the best

The reason I was asking is I’m having intermittent difficulties with the 4 pin connector at the base of the arm.

What difficulties are you having exactly ?

I have rewired a few SME's.

I have an intermittent hum at more than 5 out of ten volume that seems to go away when I move the 4 pin connector at the bottom of the arm assembly. The ground connection on the side of the connector also seems to be a problem. That’s why I was looking into the one piece rewire end to end.
