SME 312 or SME 312S for a Technics SP10 mkII

Hi Peterayer,

I'm actually on an exchange of emails with Albert and I must admit that he is really patient even tough I asked him a lot of questions regarding his plinth and the Technics SP-10 mkII in the last week.

Maybe Albert will answer right on this thread and we can know if he already try the last generation of SME's 312.

Is there any other member who tried the SME 312? Any other advice are welcomed.

Just to be clear, by "the last generation of SME's 312" I mean the one who was there before the SME 312S generation.

Salut David,

My SP-10 mkII is already at my audio technician shop. He will replace all capacitors in the power supper and convert the plug to an IEC one. He already cheked all the caps inside the table and they are perfect. I was with him when he opened it and the table, even tough with its October 25th 1979 birthday is clean, clean, clean. Impressive.

It's funny that your are talking about the SME 10 because it was the only other table I considered for my next one beside the SP-10 mkII. So what was the conclusion when you've compared them?

Bonne journée,

Sébastien

Hi David,

Like I said above: "I'm actually on an exchange of emails with Albert and I must admit that he is really patient even tough I asked him a lot of questions regarding his plinth and the Technics SP-10 mkII in the last week..."

Plus, I've order last week-end a SME 312S arm, a Denon DL-103R and a Nagaoka MP-50 cartridges.

To Sarcher30: I'm very interested by the Micro Seiki copper mat, but for the beginning, I'll probably go with a Boston Audio mat 1.

Have a good day,

Sébastien
