I re-wired the original 3009 myself with Cardas 33 awg. This was due to an intermittent short in the arm so I figured I might as well upgrade the wire. I could only compare the sound to the original wiring from memory (not necessarily reliable). It seemed like it was an improvement, but not night and day. The next tonearm (not an SME) I re-wired in a continuous run to the rca's. This seemed to show more of a difference.
