I've owned this for many years, and have been using it on my Oracle Premier 3 with an Audionote Soara cartridge (and Koetsu's before that). I only recently took it out of service. It came wired with silver wiring. The box says Audionote/vdH - I assume vdH silver with Audionote plugs, but it could be the other way too! Over the years I've had to replace some of the headshell clips, so some of them are not the originals. I recently chanced upon the 'correct' period Oracle tonearm for the Premier, so have decided to sell the Helius. The Oracle arm is not as good with moving coils as the Orion, but I will use it with a MM cartridge. The Orion will not fit on my Voyd Valdi, else I would have kept it. It's a bargain at this price. The base is an SME cutout but at 90 degrees unlike SME arms that are angled. This Arm was designed for a vintage Audionote IO cartridge, and was compared to SME Vs when it came out. I only have 2 counterweights. You can use 3 weights, but the 3rd weight is only needed for the IO. International buyers - please ask me to check shipping costs with insurance BEFORE YOU BID. I only charge actual shipping costs, but will not ship without insurance. Since the item costs more than $500, the type of shipping I can use is limited, so be aware that it could be quite expensive!
