| Thump noise on the lead in on warped LPs As Stringreen says, the arm needs lifting at the pillar as either the rear of the cartridge is riding on the warp or the warp is catching your tonearm (you don't mention what tonearm you're using). A tapered tonearm like the SME IV/V series can be... | |
| Kuzma 4 point and SME 20 Looking at the Kuzma 4 point, the way the arm is offset to the right of the pillar then i reckon it would be well out of the way of the suspension pillars of the Model 20. I've got a Model 20/2 with a IV arm fitted. Out of interest one day with a ... | |
| tonearm on a technics sl1200mk2-help The balance weight will always be too heavy and will lift the rear of the arm when there's no cartridge fitted. There's no way you will get it not to do that with no cartridge but i'm at a loss as to why you're concerned. It's like saying that you... | |
| Kuzma Stabi S? Need a small footprint turntable Rsf507 wrote..SME 10 can not adjust speed precisely I've tried. Look at the Brinkmann Bardo, seems like a good table with no frills just a great DD design....Nonsense. The SME 10 speed control is absolutely precise. | |
| Kuzma Stabi S? Need a small footprint turntable Another recommendation for the SME Model 10. The footprint is the same size as an lp record and only the armboard and stylus guard protrudes. I've owned one since 2001 and it has always been superb and never put a foot wrong. | |
| Re-tipped cartridges I had a Phase Tech P-3 retipped by Soundsmith as i wanted to keep the sonics of the cartridge the same but replace a worn stylus. Retipping is just that and not replacement of the cantilever too as incorrectly stated above. The original stylus is ... | |
| How many LP's do you own? How long did it take? I started buying in 1976 and since then have bought one album a week on average which has brought me up to 1940 albums currently. I don't like buying masses of records that i will never be able the give the time to listening to so one a week has m... | |
| Conterweight on RS-212D Anatoliy, yes i like the AS212S very much. I've got it mounted on an SME Model 10 turntable with a Phase Tech P3 Alexandrite cartridge. I've used a SME IV arm on the table before but that had a different cartridge so really a comparison would be m... | |
| Conterweight on RS-212D I've got the AS212S arm which is what Needledoctor have mistakenly shown where there should be the 212D. | |
| Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ In 30 years of buying hifi and 15 years reading internet forums about hifi, this is the first time i've come across someone who wanted to change the faceplate on an item. I've seen countless adverts for components where the seller mentions a scrat... | |
| Pressing Issues Direct metal mastering was one way to get around the problem when bleed through was due to the cutting process.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Metal_Mastering | |
| SME 20 SME V cartridge William Thacker sells the Ortofon Jubilee for just under £1000 which works excellently with your SME and at that price is a bargain. You don't say though what phono stage you use. If you're mm only then forget about the Jubilee.http://www.zum-shop... | |
| To SME or not to SME? The 20 digs far deeper into the detail of the music and brings out a significant amount of information compared to the 10. Bass appears lighter at first but is far, far tighter and going back to the 10 which i moved to a second system confirms thi... | |
| To SME or not to SME? I bought my Model 10 without hearing it nearly 10 years ago and never regretted a thing. I bought a Model 20 last year based on my experience with the 10 and again, no regrets. I too echo the responses of others who say 'just go for it'. | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 A decent Ortofon is an excellent match with SME. I've got a Jubilee on my Model 10 and a Cadenza Black on the 20. |
