SAEC WE-308 L or a new tonearm?


Dear fellow hobbyists,

I found a good deal online for a second hand SAEC WE-308 L , but refurbished. I was just wondering, what your advice would be. So, assuming it has been recently restored, would you recommend buying such a tonearm, vs maybe spending 1500 eur on a new tonearm, such as Ortodon 210 or Groovemaster. What would be your considerations?

thanks!

Saec works for low compliance cartridges better than any Jelco. Jelco more universal.  

Thumbs up for Groovemaster the last alive manufacturer which tonearm doesn't look like Harry Potter wand.
For 1500 EUR you’d better look for some other Japanese vintage tonearms, one of them is Technics EPA-100, another one is Lustre GST-801, you could find used samples withing 1500 EUR
