SMEs work well with VPI turntables but not Linn in my experience. In my opinion, with Linn it makes the music sound too rich and too fat in the bass.
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
