I just grabbed recently a Jelco SA-750L that's the 12" version for my Garrard 301 they run from $600ish to $800 for a 9",10".12" arm i think the 9" is about $600 US. I'm very impressed with the build quality and value. Way better then a moded Rega RB600 it replaced.
VPI Scout 2 vs. Luxman PD 441
I'm on the fence about just selling my Luxman PD 441 table as I need to upgrade the tonearm from a Denon DA-307 and that seems to be a $1,000+ proposition.
I would replace it with something from VPI and keep my Grado The Reference high output cartridge. Maybe a Scout 2 with JMW 9 arm?
My question is whether it is worth it for me to upgrade to a better arm for the Luxman or just ditch the whole thing and get a VPI?
Can I even get any $ for the Luxman to soften the blow?
Thanks for any advice.
