Don’t worry, an SME 30 is almost plug and play. The table looks complicated, but really isn’t. If your 30 has a V arm just setup as described and it’s actually pretty easy. There aren’t the cart issues that other arms have as the head is not slotted, nor does it have rotational adjustment. There is a little bit of side to side, but it is very slight. Setting up the rest is pretty straight forward. Get a good force scale gauge as well. Have fun with it, it’s a great setup.
Catridge for sme 30/2
I am planing on upgrading my turntable from rega rp8 to sme 30/2.
looking for recommendations for catridge to pair with turntable. Budget is between 2k-4K.
phono stage is ayre l-5xe.
I have been playing records for over 30 yrs but my technical knowledge in setting up table is bad. That’s why I have been using plug and play turntables . This would be my first venture into this level of analogue and am a willing learner .
Thank you in advance .
