I have a SME 10 with upgraded V arm and Sumiko Celebration cartridge all on a Mapleshade 4" platform with brass footers. Excellent combination. Details on my system page.
S.M.E. 10 owners
I'm giving the S.M.E. model 10 table serious concideration however I have not listened to it in a system,yet.
The dealer has the model 20/2 and 5 arm which I have heard on several occastions and love the model 20s dynamic living presents with recorded music.
The model 10 will arrive to his store sometime into the New Year.
My question to you owners of the model 10 is.
The 10A tonearm that comes with the table do you like it and have you upgraded the tonearm wire? or even the arm? I understand the standard Van Den Hul wire S.M.E. uses is not verygood according to Roy Gregory editor of Hi-Fi + magazine.
What type of music do you listen to and what brand of m.c.cartridge are you using with the model 10.
Are you using any particular brand of platform under your S.M.E.?
I'm using two differant pairs of speakers in my system depending on what I would like to hear ,music wise.
S.M.E. uses Quad electrostats to voice their range of tables and arms.
I have a pair of refurbished Quad 63s.this is one of a few reasons why I'm concidering an S.M.E. table.
I also like the idea there is not a constant upgrade path with their arms and tables.
Thank You for your comments.
