Have to admit, I really like the appearance of the 309
Posted by CometCKO on April 27, 2012 at 14:11:01:
It's one of my favorite arms aesthetically. I definitely would consider one!
I've never heard one though. I have long-term experience listening to a friend's SME V, which he recently replaced with a Graham Phantom. I'm in love with the Phantom! I also have somewhat less experience with the Rega's, but only on Rega tables, so I can't really say what is the arm and what is the synergy with the table. I thought the Origin Live Silver was a nice improvement over an RB300, but I have not heard any of the other OL arms. The only other arms I know well are Thorens arms. My SME 3009 seemed better for the cartridges I was using compared to the stock TP13a arm on my TD150-II Thorens table.
Do you have any sense of how the 309 works relative to any of those? I'm looking for some points of reference (not that it is any real substitute for hearing it yourself, in your own system). With so few bricks and mortar dealers around, this seems to be the best way to start narrowing down alternatives!
Thank you!
