The arm is similar to my fixed head nine inch SME 3009, for the money this looks like a very nice setup. Nice review, if you are there see you on the poddy this coming Wednesday.
Being a bit solipsistic I sometimes wonder what would be the equivalent, in cost, to my arm, cartridge and turntable setup Ed. As mentioned I have the 9" fixed head SME arm, a Shure V15 MK 3 cartridge and the Thorens TD125 MK2 turntable? All over 40 years old and still going strong.
By the way on an
subject. I'm still going to change my AV amp (Denon AVCA11XV) for either the Denon 8500 or the Marantz SR 8015 for Atmos / DTS:X capability and the latest HDMI protocols.
As some might know (garrulous me) due to my trade being very badly hit by this pandemic it hasn't been worth me going out, so it's eleven months and counting now since working. But I hope to poke my accelerator feet out by, hopefully, April. Thank heavens I rent a cab now, all I have to do is take it back to the fleet owner although I was an owner driver for several decades. Mind you who knows if Denon might be replacing, or possibly would have already replaced their flagship model by the time I have the necessary wonga. Anyway take care and be safe.
