SME Classic Series M2 Tonearms Available

SME announces the made to order Classic Series M2 tonearms in 9- and 12-inch varieties, straight or J-shaped.

The shock news that SME was leaving the separate tonearm business back in 2019 sent ripples through the audiophile world. However, the respected British brand has today announced the release of the Classic Series M2 range.

SME tells us that “the introduction of the new VA tonearm compliments the magnesium range of tonearms fitted to SME turntables, which provides an opportunity for the highly credible M2 Series to be assigned to a Classic Range now available for individual retail sales. “

The Classic M2 Series is a class-leading tonearm famous for its precision instrument quality and ultimate sonic performance and is available in 9-inch and 12-inch versions in straight and ’J’ shaped tubes; the latter is denoted by the R in its name.

This is good news because of the loss of Jelco (Japanese supplier of arms to other brands).  It was becoming harder to find decent arms that are reasonably priced.

I would take one of Jeff's Audiomods series six arms at less than half the cheapest SME arm listed above, all day ... any day. Especially an arm that can play right along side the SME series IV and V arms . I personally can't  justify the pricing when more than viable options are available . Just my 4 cents worth with inflation....
