Anyone using Ortofon AS-309-S arm?


I am contemplating the Ortofon AS309s arm, and would like to know if anyone has experience or insight on this arm. To be used with Denon 103, I am assuming the arm is heavy enough.

Thanks All

I have used my Ortofon AS-309s on and off for the past few months and think it is great. It should theoretically work with the 103 because most long arms have a highish effective mass. Experiment with different headshell too if you want to increase or decrease effective mass. There is an option for a heavy counter weight so get one of those too. I needed it to use a Shun Mook headshell.
The sound is big and wide, and if dialed in, smooth and grain free.
I think a good value for the money considering where some of the vintage long arms have gone in price, and you can never be sure the bearings are in top shape unless the arm is NOS.
Hello, any idea what the selling price is on this arm? I have not seen them anywhere.

Thanks for all your input.... I think I am going to take the bate! I have talked to a couple of folks off line also that say it is great arm, so onword I go.
Congrat's, good luck with it. I should have mine up and running in a week or so. I'll post my impressions of it then.
