A used SME IV or 309 is a good way to go. I have a Sota vacume Turntable with an SME IV arm and although the IV.VI and V are available, I am very happy with the IV. I am considering upgrading my AR PH3 phono stage to a PH5.

Recommendations for Sota Star
I just purchased a Sota Star. This will be used in conjunction with a Conrad Johnson phono pre, CJ pre, and CJ power. Interconnects are Stealth PGS gold and speakers are Tannoy Turnberrys.
I love a sweet, relaxed, warm sound and am now looking for an arm and cartridge to give me just that. :Listening? Primarily soft jazz (Diana Krall, Holly Cole, Melody Gardot, etc.) and classical. Budget? Up to $2k for a used arm and $1k for a used (maybe new) cartridge.
Any suggestions or experiences put forth will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
