| Do SME V's come with detchable head shell? Tim - Everything you say is correct. The SME Vd was designed to tweak the azimuth, not to allow quick changing of cartridges (as with the Phantom arm wands). | |

| Magnepan tonearm This post and the others regarding the Unitrac show that is has a loyal following. Too bad Magnepan doesn't bring it back into production. | |
| BAT vk-52SE vs ARC Ref 3 vs CJ CT 5 Elberoth2 - The Placette is a passive pre-amp, if I am correct. Please elaborate on your amp and interconnect lengths, as I understand that passives are very dependent on amp input impedance and do best with very short interconnects. Thanks. | |
| ARC Ref 2 Mk II tube rolling suggestions, please The only 'rolling' you can do with 6H30 tubes is between the cheaper Sovtek 6H30Pi and the more expensive 6H30P-DR. The latter may make a difference in your unit. Agree with Gundam91 about your tube damper. Try Herbie's tube dampers. | |
| better tonearm for SME 20/2 I use both a V and a Phantom on my 30/2. The SME V has great synergy with the table. The Phantom has the big advantages of quick, repeatable adjustability and cartridge changing (with different armwands). IF you're going to use only one cartridge,... | |

| What speakers are you guys driving your BAT's with BAT VK 150SE 's driving Legacy Focus speakers. | |
| BAT VK 75SE vs 150SE's or maybe a VK600SE? Have to agree with Kahuna about the upgrade from 75's to 150's. I went from the 75SE to 150SE's running into Legacy Focus Speakers. Increased power gives more control and of course, more head-room at higher volumes. I think there is always some im... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Larry - Given your findings, would you say that the Universe might work better in gimbaled arms rather than uni-pivots. | |
| SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII? I challenge anyone to actually 'hear' a difference between a statically or dynamically balanced V. Dynamic balancing was introduced by SME for use on very warped records. From what I understand, the IV.V is specially produced by SME for Sumiko alo... | |
| SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII? Sirspeedy is correct - synergy of arm and table is everything. Given that you are getting a 20/2, I would get an SME V - with MCS 150 silver internal wiring, not the stock wiring; and a good phono cable, not the stock one. Unless I am mistaken, no... | |
| Is Supratek Chenin a good match for BAT-75SE? Why not consider the BAT 51SE? Great synergy with your 75SE. | |
| Amp recommendation for AKG K1000's headphones? I listen to my AKG K1000's with monoblock Fi 300B amps. | |
| Phantom B44 vs The SME V Tone Arm All the contributors above have made valid points. However, Maccallan25 asked the original question of how these two arms would differ on the SME 30/2, not in an absolute sense, or on a variety of other turntables. The synergy of cartridge, arm, a... |
