    Sir will be wanting one of these...



    SAS Jico tipped M75 in a Sumiko headshell - I'm chuffed to bits with it and it works very nicely in my pre-improved 3009. A big sound, surprisingly agile for an 'old' cartridge too, it sounds modern yet still with that pleasingly warm, full-bodied presentation which cartridges like the DL103 have.

    Sumi headshell would kill the vintage look. I use ADC carts with 3009 sounded great but styli are expensive. Goldring G900 series sounded good.

    I like the Sumiko headshell myself but I'd suggest the spacer under the arm-base. Can't remember if I've said that before and been told it is preferred that way????
