In Reply to: REVIEW: S.M.E 3009 IIIs Tone Arms posted by darkstar on November 7, 2004 at 18:23:17:
I have this arm, with the damping kit (no spillage problems, but I installed it myself on an existing arm) and like it a lot. The arm features replaceable armtubes which make it fairly easy to switch cartridges. The use of RCA jacks in the armbase also makes it easy to switch interconnects. I believe the IIIs is particularly synergisic with high compliance carts like the ADC XLM Mk II, my current favorite. It should be noted, though that the cart must be reasonably small (avoid Grado woodies) or it won't fit on the arm tube's mounting area.Others seem to have "discovered" this arm since I bought mine on Ebay -- the prices for Series III arms and armtubes have increased quite a bit.
And yes, if you're not willing to play with and fine-tune the myriad adjustments, don't mess with this arm. It's not exactly plug-n-play.
