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!
