SAEC Making Tonearms Again!
@lewm What can I say, I’m an SME fanboy. But I won’t apologize. They make incredibly competent products.Since 2000, I probably listened to, set up, had access to, or owned close to 100 turntables. Most recently I’ve owned the brand new Technics SL...

@rauliruegas I would be absolutely shocked if you can provide evidence that SME V at some point had a knife edge bearing. This is completely false. But I'll eat my words if proven true. 
What MC cart would you use with this setup?
MC - Audio Technica ART9MM - Ortofon 2M Black

SME V uses state of the art ABEC 7 bearings. Prices of the new SAEC are not because that's what it takes to build it today, it's because vinyl made a comeback and they think they can make some quick money.SME V should destroy them in every imagina...
