Looking to upgrade my tonearm


I'v'e got a Michell Gyrodec and I am currently using a plain RB300. with a Clear Audio Arum Beta. I'm budget conscious and price is an object but I am considering an SME 309 or the new VPI JMW 9 which is supposed to fit in Rega openings. Does anyone know how good the SME 309 is or isn't and whether it's better than the other tone arm I mentioned. Also any suggestions on arms to match with the table arm combo I have mentioned. I want an arm that won't be too much of a hassle to set up but that will be an upgrade in sound from the RB 300.

Thanks.

If you're budget conscious, and haven't had the RB300 rewired from the stock Rega wiring, THAT would be a major upgrade for a relatively small investment.
