fini Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Cool, Mike! Just to clarify in my mind, your SME 3009 SII is not the "improved" (lower mass) version, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Cool, Mike! Just to clarify in my mind, your SME 3009 SII is not the "improved" (lower mass) version, correct? That's correct, fini! Mine is the original Series II which has a mass of 12.5g. The Series II Improved has a mass of 9.5g I believe. Zu gives you some nice documentation with the cart, and my 103R now has a mass of 13.6g, so is a pretty nice fit with the tonearm. I just finished listening to the Classic reissue of Rimsky-Korsakoff's Scheherezade (Fritz Reiner), and it sounds incredible! The 103R's output (.25mv) is slightly less than the standard 103 (.30mv), but the VRD/BBX w/Cream combo has no problems making this album sound so lifelike. I am extremely impressed with this cartridge! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnich Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Very nice cart indeed! I continue to be impressed and happy with my zu 103R. I am pleased that you are experiencing the same improvement as me. This is one killer cart for sure. As i have said before, my Shelter 901 is in the box having ben replaced by the zu!
