Looks like an upgrade to me! I think you will like the 309 arm since you want to swap out cartridges frequently! Just remember that the spare headshells for the 309 are now $250.I paid $50 about ten years ago.
Going from a Gyrodec to a SME 10
Hi all,
I'm thinking about going from my 10 year old Gyrodec to a near new SME 10. Would this be considered step-up in performance or just a different audio reproduction?
Currently my Gyrodec is up to date in specs including latest never connected power supply. Also it has all the Orbe upgrades including platter and using a SME IV arm. The SME would come with a 309 arm.
I'm wanting to swap carts from a mono to stereo frequently so I thought even though I I'd have the choice of arms I'd use the 309 and not keep the IV.
The rest of my system. Using Harbeth SHL5 speakers with a Aussie built KT120 amp into a Aussie built MM stage then a audio Techinca SUT..
Any thoughts would be great..
Thanks all
