SME lV arm upgrades?

What arm cable are you using? From the din (at the bottom on your arm) to your phono stage? That makes a BIG difference. I agree, the internal wiring is fine. I wouldn't mess with it.

I've used Graham IC50, Hovland Music groove and now a Purist Venestas arm cables. The Purist is the best, by far. Hovland good. Graham better than the stock Vdh cabl.

Thanks Nsgarch. I looked, and I don't see anything on the main pivot post between the part that holds the anti skate adjustment and the base. So, I guess I can order the fluid damper kit. Thanks.

Jfrech. I looked, I have the stock cable going from the arm to the phono stage. I think it's stock, the RCA at the phono stage end say "SME England" on them.
I'll try and find the cables you've recommended. Do these come up in the cables section of Audiogon I wonder?
Thanks again.

For phono cables used, search either "phono cable" or "tonearm cable" here on Agon. I also use a Purist Venustas like Jfrech, and think it's most amazing!

Thanks Nsgarch

Rolloff...you have the stock cable...that's likely you best upgrade path...
