SME V/309 Tonearms With LP12 or VPI MKIII


I have now acquired an SME 309 and SME V tonearm, both in excellent condition. I Also have a VPI 19 MKIII, but want to also try an LP12 Valhalla...so, does anyone have any experience with using an later model SME tonearm on a LP12? I only see info on Linn arms and Naim Aro's.....never SME arms. Thanks for your help in advance

Listen to Casey from Extremephono, SME arms work just fine on LP12's. I intsalled a Model 10 SME along with the Extremephono armboard & sub-chassis on my LP12 & the sonic performance that I have obtained is outstanding! The only modification required is the removal of 80% of the plinth corner brace near the arm mount. In passing I would recommend a visit to the Extremephono web site as this gentleman really knows about the inherent problems with this turntable & modifications that can really let it SING!
