Trying to choose a tonearm for a Thorens TD-124 - leaning towards an SME 3009 & the Series II Improved seems to be a popular choice. Am I on the right track? Does another SME arm mate better with a TD-124 - or should I be looking at something else?
Thanks for the input folks. At least initially, I will be using a Shure V15 III - & have narrowed my choices to the SME 3009, either the Series II improved or the Series III.
I agree with all previous comments and add that a properly restored TD 124 can do justice to an SME V and SME IV. For grins, I put a Graham Phantom and Shure V on my TD 124. It sounds excellent, as does a SME IV and Benz LP on that same TD 124. A properly restored TD 124 is a must to get great results out of a nice arm / cartridge combo. If nostalgia matters, the 3009 II looks and sounds good too.
