SME FDIV Kit For SME 309 Tonearm

I purchased the kit directly through SME. While installing it as per their manual I am not able to fit the damper resorvoir in the hole provided for it as it is small compared to the resorvoir. I have pictures but do not know how to post them here. Anyone with experience with SME FDIV Kit have any idea what needs to be done. Thanks.

It should be pretty straight forward, have installed several of these, the end cap on the left side of the bearing has to be removed and the upper part of the damper should mount directly in its place. The lower part mounts to the armrest bracket.

Shoot me pics from my website pbnaudio.com I can possibly guide you through it.

Good listening,

Peter

Tom,

I'd say that the VTA adjustment works well but only for upward movements, the pushing down seems a little "clumsy" for such a well engineered piece. Still the SME arms are my all time favorites.

Good listening

Peter
