Can anyone enlighten me on the differences between these two tonearms. I have both and am thinking about putting the IV on an oracle premier just to match the colour. I was told that the differences are no TOO big.
OK, so I started reading the link Mofimadness supplied, and the IV uses copper wire, instead of the silver wire found in the V. If I wanted to upgrade wire, what are my options and how difficult is it?
I've just had my V rewired with Audionote Kondo from the VDH silver that SME supplied. Definite upgrade for me but there are other alternatives. I know the US supplied arms are wired with copper, can't remember the name of the cable.
Valves, I am using a clearaudio stradivari. It seemed to track a little better in the V and a have a little more detail in the highs. I also could be imagining it as those differences were subtle. I used several preamps. I had also used several other cartridges with both arms and found less of a difference with for example a denon 103d. Would have happily lived with the IV but having the V decided to keep it.
