Looks superb. Where did you get it restored? I rather fancy one of those Ortfon arms, but never quite end up pushing the ‘buy’ button. Just the thing for a SPU, but probably not ideal for much else. It is so easy to change arms/armboards though I should do it one day.
What do a SME 3009 series II improved give in sound quality compared to a good Linn arm or Naim Aro? Especially when it comes to the TD 124 combination?
