Tell me about saec 308 Long tonearm


Hello,

Could you please tell me sth about that tonearm ?

I am completely inexperienced with it.

I don't have even a table for it yet.....

Why it is specific, why it is good, is it difficult to instal it , to set etc ? What it is compared to MS ma-505x? (Which I don't know either....)

what are best cartridges for it, of course?

This kind of things....

 

Thank you very much

Serge

Thank you very much for you reply.

Sounds like the features you pointed out are negative.

In short, saec 308Long are not good in your eyes (normal version is also not good as having the same offset angle , as it seems)

Well, You surely know the subject better, I don’t know, personally I never used one.

But, It just seems strange that such a respectable and competent company like SAEC produced BAD tonearms, and did it for many years. Why did not they produce lighter tonearms with a sufficient offset angle, I wonder?

And many people all over the world paid real money for it (and pay even now), used it , and liked it very much. How that can be explained?

There seems to be a contradiction....

But what is good, then? tell me which tonearms you like (are better)

and why .

Thank you

Serge
