AMG V12 vs SME 20/12

Personally I would take the AMG, I think it is a better design, but I think there are even better sounding tables for less money and for a bit more than either of these tables.

The SME is not a great sounding table, its days of being king of the hill are over.

Audiooracle, how would you describe the sound of the SME 20/12? Could you elaborate on your opinion about SME? Thanks.

Peterayer,
Please know that Audiooracle is a dealer who does not carry SME. Need I say more???

I kind of figured. I thought I would ask anyway.

I've heard the SME 20/12, 30/12 and used to own a 20/2. I also recently heard a AMG V12. So none of these were in the same systems so I can't draw any conclusions for you...

I will say each of them make beautiful music. At the top end, I am not sure you can really beat a 30/12...In the price range of the 20/12 and AMG V12, the Grand Prix Audio Monaco with a Triplanar arm (or other arm of your choice) is something to consider possibly...

One thing about SME is they've been around for years and a very stable company...

I am proponent of spending as much on the table/arm as you can...

What's the rest of your system?
