EXPIRED For Sale SME IV Tonearm

Further Information

The Series IV precision pick-up arm owes much to the technology developed for the acclaimed Series V. Although presented at a lower price it retains the unique one-piece magnesium tone-arm, dual-lock base and other advanced features listed.

The Series IV is a worthy relative of 'the best pick-up arm in the world' with a sonic performance reflecting the care and attention to detail underlying its design and manufacture.

This magnesium tonearm is absolutely spectacular when matched with the right turntable. I have a Michell Gyrodec and are looking at changing to a Funk FX-3.

*Unique one-piece pressure die-cast tone-arm utilising the advantages of magnesium, replaces conventional fabricated construction.

*Internal constrained layer damps minute residual vibration leaving the tone-arm acoustically inert.

*Fine machined cartridge platform, enamel free to avoid interface resonance.

*Stainless steel cross shaft, ground and thread ground. Carried in massive yoke on 10mm ABEC 3 ball races. Axis at record mean level to minimise warp-wow.

*Unique assembly gives high rigidity and allows bearings to be critically adjusted before tone-arm is fitted.
