I wouldn't restrict your turntable choice because of an SME 309. Peter has the dynavector but I would put my Stax up against his anytime.

Your SME 309 may be ok on a Sony TTS-8000 but it is a big motor unit better suited to a 10 or 12" arm. It will depend on your cartridge whether or not you can get it aligned properly on a 309/TTS-8000. I have seen several TTS-8000s with 9" SME arms on the web so I took a chance on an SME V for my TTS-8000 in a resinamic plinth. Unfortunately my Kiseki cartridge wouldn't align properly.

I shall use one of Benz carts on the new TT , can you do me a favour and measure distance from spindle to the outer body if not too much trouble , I make some drawaings to see if I can align it properly . Out of curiosity , have you aligned SME arm with supplied protractor , I use Baerwald alignment on mine and its a fair bit off SME null points.

I did manage my AT ART-1 in an SME IV on my 8000. It is quite tight though
