Chris,Thanks for all the info.  I'm afraid it would be too noisy for my setup.  All my equipment is in a closet at the front of my room but I'd still be only about 15 to 18 ft away.  I don't have the luxury of a basement to isolate the noise.Harry

@slaw @ct0517 Yes, the solid plinths are outrageous.  Found a source in Austria that is about half what the US sources get.  It will be about a month to get the plinth then it's off to STS turntables in Nashville for refurb.I decided on an Ortofon...

SME Series III or SME 3009
If you are looking at a 9" arm you might want to look at the Ortofon TA 110.  I just got one for my Garrard 301 restoration project.  I haven't heard it yet because I'm early in the restoration but the service that is restoring my 301 says this Or... 
Jelco Headshell for Ortofon Arm
Thanks for advice all.  I went with a Zupreme.  Seemed to be the most bang for the buck.
