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.

It should be fine. The 3009 arms have a range from 6.5 to 12 grams. Find out the mass of that arm and do the math!

The resonance frequency with that arm and cartridge is 11.27 HZ. Those numbers are damn good! Why would you need a headshell weight?
