Having used the SME309 and Jelco arms both with good cartridges I can say IMHO the Jelco is better. The Denon 103 suits it very well also.

Currently its sitting on my bedroom floor. I have many projects on the go like pimping out a playstation one CD player and making lovely new power cables and balanced interconnects for my 1210 setup. So at least the 301 is now out of the attic!!Quote:

Compared to the supplied VDH cable which appears to be very poor .
I have it on here at the moment, 401, 309, oyaide cable going direct to my pre-amp which as an excellent phono module built in (it was an optional up-grade at the time).Quote:
