Which TT is better suited for.........

[Batty]

As some of you know I have an Elite Rock II, bought new in '86, but I also have a 1980 Luxman PD264 that has been modified a little to solidify the base/bass (sorry for the pun).

I have recently acquired an SME2009 with a removable headshell.

My question is, do I replace the modified RB250 on the Rock and put the RB250 on the PD264 or put the SME on the Luxman?

The GST-1 now fitted on the Luxman has a few problems in the bearing area.

The cartridges I have are:-

MM - Shure V15 type III with a Jico SAS Stylus.

MC - Denon 103r, Goldring Elite, VdH DDT-II special and AT 33.

 

What a 1st world dilemma.

Fit the sme to the Luxman and whichever cart is compliant with a 12 gram arm, you can buy heavier counter weights for the 3009 to balance heavier cart/ head shell combo’s as well.

is the 3009 improved or non improved?

It is a series 2, I'll check the serial number to see if it improved or not.
