I'm pleased if between us, we've been of some help, Lloyd. The theory can only ever be a pointer, the important thing is how it performs. Enjoy.

Cheers Graham, it might be a while before I report back, lots of work to get the Garrard up and working, a new plinth then a service etc.

Update, SME now not happening, new plan, Audiomods Series 5 arm which I’ve ordered with Jeff to use with my soon to be Garrard 401 

Type
Classic III arm
Finish: Specification:
Estimated completion date:
17/12/2022
DMY
    Stainless steel / polished
 Silver Litz 0.9m continuous wiring loom, KLE bullet RCAs
Bridged arm yoke
S6 bearing assembly
VTA finger lock
Alloy arm rest
S6 variable mass counterweight 105-140g Headshell shim set
Presentation box

Now you may ask why not the S6? Well I’m a bit shallow and find the looks especially the headshell a bit awkward, I know it should be all about the sound, but “you eat with your eyes” Wink Jeff did say i could upgrade it to the 6 at a later date.

Would still like the forum’s opinion, am i on the right track?

Good choice - Audiomods arms are excellent and Jeff is one of the best in the industry to deal with.
I've owned the Series 4 & now the 6 & rate them highly.

They are very well reviewed, and stated to play well with a wide range of cartridges, Lloyd, but I don't have any experience of them (or Regas) myself, so unable to add anything. Rich is your man.

I've had an Audiomods Classic with 0.9m silver Litz since 2010, very pleased with it. It's used with my Garrard 401, an excellent combination.

Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.
