Nick, I don't think your cart needs replacing it sounded GREAT the other day and tracked like a champ, I think that you just have some audio-nervosa on it. I like the job you did on the arm, the custom carbon fiber wand/headshell/direct wire are all nice but that SME arm...enough to make an audiophile buddy VERY jealous ;)
SL1200 upgrade tonearm or replace cartridge?
The upgrade bug has started to bite again. I'm thinking of upgrading my tonearm from a stock sl1200 tone arm with cards wires to a SME arm (309, IV, or V).
My other issue is that my cartridge, a Benz Glider homc, I nearing the point where it could use a re-tip or exchange.
My budget is limited, so I can only do one of the above this year.
So my question is, which upgrade cart or arm?
Is the glider a good fit for the SME arms?
Which SME arm is the best fit for the SL1200?
