What are the obvious tell tale signs that this is a fake?
SME V Tonearm on eBay Hong Kong Sellers are FAKE!!!
These scumbags have been selling these for a while now. It comes from multiple accounts originating out of Hong Kong. They sell on average two SME V tonearms a month, at $1400-$2200, auction style. Fellow audiophiles, please stop buying these. They are 100% fake. They are cheap hideous copies.

Other than the rough finish (although hard to tell in the crummy photos, btw out of focus photography is almost always a give away) the big tell is the lack of serif on the “V” compare with https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F282864554524 |
Did you check out the photo of the arm that is being called a fake? It is not out of focus and there are multiple pictures. I've visually compared it to a "real" arm and o can't see any differences. Does anyone know someone who bought this arm from the vendor and can report directly on it being a fake? |
