Jelco and Dynavector

Currently I own a VPI Scout (original model). In which I have a Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua mounted. However I feel this cart might benefit from a better turntable.

The turntable I have in mind comes without an arm. However tonearms puzzle me a bit. There are the sort of affordable tonearms like Jelco, which can be bought new for about €600. Then the next step are the exotic arms like SME, Reed, Graham etc. These start at €2000.

So would a Jelco 750D work well with the Dynavector?

I'm using a dynavector TE KAITORA with a Swissmade Holborne arm , marriage in heaven .Take a look at their webside.
Turntable is the famous Dutch brand Sphinx PJ 6 , DD ,unfortunately only 6 made of them in the past.

After getting some advice from people who know my cart and who know me. The arm that would best suit me is a Origin Live or SME309. I was told to stay away from the SME IV or V.

Now I see if I can get a good deal somewhere and if my bank account agrees.

I have a 10 Jelco 750 with the TTW Audio Eliminator kit and a Shelter 7000, it is a beast of an arm, I read in a forum a member had a 750 but his dream arm had always been the SME V and he said that the SME was better in some areas but it was a diminishing returns deal. meaning the difference in price was MUUCH greater than the improvement in sound.
