I have other alignment accessories in my toolbox such as my recently acquired Wally tools, Avid glass protractor, and from Germany, the Schon protractor. In my exper... | |
| Best Cartridge for SME309 arm I have experiences of using the Ruby Z and SS Sussaro MKII on an SME V arm with excellent results. Although not a 309, I think the general nature of sound traits exhibited by the SME 3 and V series are similar. | |
