SME3009 Series II - how good or bad?

I have an un-modified Linn LP12 (1974/75)with SME 3009 Series II tone arm and Goldring 1042. How good/bad is this tone arm? I just fitted an Origin Live motor & speed control as first upgrade to TT and need to make some decision on the upgrading path from here onwards. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi Jaybo, thanks. To assist me further - which arm do I have to buy for a good upgrade? Would something like an Origin Live Silver be good or do I need to go beyond this?

Hi Dchan88. Cleared up bass, less surface noise (little), added Impact (attack) and some detail. I only run a Goldring 1042 at this stage but this upgrade proved that the "sky is the limit". A realy good option - go for it!!! Absolutely worth the cost.
