Gyrodec Best Tonearm

I have an Orbe and I'm saving up for either an SME 309 or V.

Dear Melanco: Good that you improve what you have even that I don't know what dislike you on it.

As Nandric point out: don't you think that an up-grade on the source is mandatory? as you know music comes from the source and IMHO ( everything the same ) as better it is as better system quality performance level you have.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

I guess I will save for a SME V or a Wilson Benesch Nanotube Tonearm. Either one is a great!

Hi Melanco, I think you are right in upgrading the deck first. For what its worth I ran a Koetsu Black in a Zeta on an Oracle yrs ago and the Zeta/Koetsu is a particularly synergistic match - sum of parts greater than the whole. This may give you a better result than upgrading the arm.

OK. As soon as I receive my new Zeta I will pursue the quest for the perfect cartridge then. Besides Koetsu Black and Ortfon Jubilee, any other prospect?
