Yup, reduced mass so that we could track our ADC's and Shures at 0.25 - 0.5 grammes. Trouble was, a passing fly could blow the arm off course.

1 to 1.3g is ok though. I have a V15 III mounted ready for experiment, but also have spare ADC XLM II, III and Phase IV ready to rumble - oh sorry, it'll be on a Thorens 160, so I suppose "ready to wow" should be said instead
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

Well, you've got the TD125 now, so that leaves the SL1500 (oh, you've got that too at the mo..), The Dual 701, 1970's Beogram 3000, Garrard AT6, 60mk2, Lab 80, AP76 () and a motley collection of cartridges

That's what I thought would've happened... Like DSJR says, people were using them then with Shure V15s, so if the revised version of the 3009 was lower mass, then that's what would've effected an improvement, not the fact that it had a fixed headshell.
Great combo!When I eventually pack up selling Hi-Fi and have just the one system, I will use my TD124 with FR-64S tonearm.
Hehehe... Just because you can!Oh and 250 different cartridges..
But which one would you try first? The FR-64 is crying out for something vintage and low-compliance

Hmmm, now would that be one of my SPUs or the SL15E, perhaps a brace of Koetsus including the first ever one imported into the UK. No wait, a Lyra or two, JVC MC1, Accuphase, Goldring G800, some Shures. I know - Decca Dark Blue, microscannered of course or an SC4E or just a plain ol' Jeweltone Ribbon.
