Keeping in mind that the listening experience is personal and completely subjective, I was never happy with moving coil cartriges in any of my 3009's. I've had the original SME 3009, the first 3009 mkII, and the SME 3009 mkII Improved. That being said, I'm also surprised that it works in the Improved arm. I've found that a multiplier of 2.2 gives you a fairly accurate approximation in converting the compliance from 100hz to 10hz. The compliance of the DL103 has been guesstimated at 11 x 10-6 cm/Dyne at 10hz and this is what should be used in the resonance calculator. Actual compliance will be higher at 10hz. The resonance evaluator is based on 10hz. The Improved is even lower mass.Īre you using weight plates on your arm to add mass?ĭenon (like Audio-Technica) states their compliance figures at a frequency of 100hz. I thought about buying one myself until I looked at the resonance evaluator and decided it would not be a good fit for my 3009 Series II. I'm a little surprised that a DL103 would be a good match for a low mass arm like the SME 3009 Improved. Originally Posted by jsaliga /img/forum/go_quote.gif
