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.
