In Reply to: REVIEW: S.M.E 3009 IIIs Tone Arms posted by darkstar on November 7, 2004 at 18:23:17:
I have a IIIs and I used it with the Shure V15xMR to great effect. Then I got a Denon DL-103. Believe it or not, with the heavier supplied headshell weight and a little lead tape on the arm, it worked and sounded great--much more musical than the Shure. Hi-fi marketing is mostly about fashion. The III series got caught in a fashion shift, and SME jumped on the new style. When they stopped supporting the older design, it became common "knowledge" that is was an inferior design among people who never even used the arm. If the Denon works, I'm sure that most medium compliance MC cartridges common today would be great matches with the III series, especially if you have the fluid damper.I guess with all this new found appreciation the price is going up, but I bought mine about 6 years ago for $100 new in the box!
Trust your ears, not "the experts."
