which SME for OC9ML/II

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

hi,

I'm willing to upgrade my Thorens TD-320mkII with SME tonearm.

I use OC9ML/II and it suits me for a time being, generally I prefer MCs. It seems, there are two choices - 3009 improved S2 or series III.

As far as I know, both tonearms are light and prefer heavier cartridges, but series III especially loves high compliance ones. My AT has 35 static compliance, so considered high compliant and will work fine with series III, but I wonder if one day I want to try another cartridge, I'm going to have a problem with narrow choice of available cartridges. Other words, series III seems to be more advanced but less versatile, or maybe I am wrong?

Please advise.
