Blackbird / SME

Hi all,
will a Sumiko Blackbird fit an SME 3009 improved ( non detach ) ? It is on a Thorens TD 125 mk II . Goes to a Manley Stingray through a Lounge Audio LCR. Thanks.

Mike

If a Decca doesn't induce it, then perhaps it is a well-executed knife edge. Or is that becuase it's not old and worn? Time will tell.

As your headshell is fixed, be real careful with that naked cantilever.
