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.

I sold a mint 3012 mk 1 about 35 years ago for £80 to a Japanese, having replaced my home brewed turntable with a Linn.

Fool I was for not being able to predict the future

 

The CD will die before vinyl.  Some say this is strange or even perverse.  But it is perfectly well explicable.  As a digital medium it offers no more than downloads, streams, rips and all the rest.  But it costs about 20x more on average.  No brainer.

 

Non fungible tokens are a very new development.  I wonder if performers could sell their music for more than they are getting for downloads and streams?  They could make small changes in the performance by digital means that would make each download unique and identifiable by a reference code and logged into a bitchain.  They would sell each one as an NFT with all the rights attaching.

Crazy Eddie prices--insane! I paid $1,800 for my M2-12R when it first came out. Excellent arm but not at today's $4,100.
