SME V and Te Kaitora Rua


Looking for advice from those who have this (or similar) combination. Would appreciate your thoughts on whether or not I would have to concern myself with tonearm damping. Thanks!

I had a SME V with Dyna XX2m1 and later on XX2m2. Both sounded beter with silicon damping. The sound is more controlled, with less stray noises and quieter between notes.

Even when I moved on from SME V to Basis Vector 4, silicon damping did bring a more precise sound which I prefer. By precise i mean no stray ringing or artificial notes extension caused by vibrations and resonance.
