If you can swing it budget-wise go for a SME iv or v. I have heard them with a 1200. Both were out of my price range but prompted me to hunt down a OL rb300 with all the mods which I got for a song. Not as good quality as the SME's as far as build & adjustability but a definate improvement.
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?
