    Ok....So I'm officially on the look out for a mission arm for my 401 , (alternatively I've spotted an Audio Technica 1503 Mk II which might be worth modding )....Would a Cardas rewire be advisable? What about a suitable cartridge recommendation? This is all rather new ground to me, the high/low mass/ compliance is something I really need to read up on!! Thanks to all who have and are helping out- much appreciated! Any who might have a spare tonearm of the type mentioned above for sale please drop me a pm ;-)

    I had my 1503 worked on by Agnus (Phonomac) including rewire, new hybrid ceramic bearings and fitting of an arm lift and clip to the main column. It's truly superb and lifts this (already good) arm substantially. Highly recommended.

    I had my Mission rewired by AO with Ikeda silver wire, not cheap but well worth it IMO.

    Another Phonomac-modified AT-1503 user here. Angus does a great job on these arms, they are very good for low compliance cartridges.
