@holmz  : OK? really. 

Holmz when SME took in count its mistake with the knife bearing switched at once for the great SME V till today. Jelco was in the rigth " road " and now is in the knife bearing tonearm worst mistake. To each his own.

R.

There are individuals on forums that are afflicted with such obsessional dispositions, their need to enforce their fantasies about designs and products are at risk of becoming a very misguided garble and will ultimately end up with an individual who has sought a guidance receiving mis-information.

The Link will give a better description on how SME were looking at their designs for their Tonearm Models, along with how it received as a product throughout the world. That is a better overview, than the very obscured and narrow focused view of your other source of information. 

As a summary, of the Link, I do not see anywhere within it that makes the SME look like a design as corrective measure to a mistake to swept under the carpet.

More like they revered the design and continued with it comfortably into the New Millennium.

Under the present guidance you are receiving from the terminally obsessed type of forum contributor, it will not be long, especially once they have made their new discovery, that they will be telling forum members the SME V is mistake to be abandoned, as the Wand is inferior and is now superseded, as SME have chose to use a secret material that is a compound of plastics/resins to produce a composite wand.

In the last “option 3” example:

1. Does one use a specific type of wire? (Like a specific thin silver?)
2. Which company peddles the DIN plugs ?

This is the link:

decibelhifi.com.au

They should be able to answer your questions.

Yeah I did see that right before this:

SAEC are unique in using the same wire type  in a commercial product, and it can be found used in their $13000 Tonearm Model.

Yeah really.

I am not sure how many times I can ask what is wrong with the SAEC in terms of how a knife edge affects the sound.

I know you think it is the worse (or next to unipivot), but I do not appreciate what that means in terms of the way it sounds, or how I could tell other than reading that it sucks..

I feel the need to correct an earlier statement made about the Success of the SME Knife Edge Bearing, my prediction of 10's of 1000's is quite short the following is official: 

Official Factory Production Statistics

Series I: 1959-1963, approximately 10,000 built

Series II: 1963-1973, approximately 180,000 built

Series II Improved: 1973-2003, 260,484 built

  This Link has loaded better, it is best available to be read with an easy access.

There are Two accounts within this Thread, one from the attached link and one from a earlier post, that have content referring to the SME mindset for their Knife Edge Designs.

As these accounts are Polar Opposites, it is looking like One Account is with a content that is utter BS and has only been supplied to attempt to Bully an individual into a submission and acceptance of a incorrect statement.

My assessment is that the link is containing very accurate information.
