Compatibility of SME arm and Air Tight cartridge

I am contemplating changing the arm on my technics sp 10 to an SME 309 or Series IV with detachable headshell. Would this a combination that would work or is there something else that might be better? I am not changing the plinth from the origiinal obsidian plinth at this time.
Thanks.

Raul,
I have long respected your opinions here and still do. I must differ with you on your "hi fi" statement about the PC-1 Supreme though. It makes music in my system. I think this just underscores that there are no analogue experts here(or anywhere else) only opinions. I have heard several systems in the past months and could live with them all. I find the combination of Air Tight and SME to be competitive with the best. Buy what you like and enjoy it Aronsss, your opinion is all that will matter to you.

Aronsss,
I found the PC-1 Supreme to be an eye opener. In my system, more detailed and dynamic. I also really enjoy the Benz however and, most recently, the xv-1s mono. Whenever possible, audition these pieces yourself and see what you prefer. There's no shortage of enjoyable cartridges out there and none is the perfect one for all situations. I do think if you try Air Tight and SME you will be impressed though.
