SME V or Graham 2.2 on Michell Gyro SE

I use to sell the earlier Gyros and had a IV and a 309 later on other tables. I currently have a 2.2 on a Basis 2001. My impression from this is that either would work very well. They are two of the best arms available and I personally would be more than happy with either. I would get the version of the Graham with the SME base if there is a choice. I think either can benefit from a cable upgrade and just got one from an English audiophile who got disgusted with the prices charged for them and started making his own. He sells on eBay with a money back guarantee. They are under $200 in standard configuration, I got mine with Silver Bullet RCAs and Clearaudio DIN which added 40 pounds so I paid around $250.

A clarification, I meant to say that IF you decided on the Graham I would get the SME base configuration if offered a choice between it and the standard mounting one.

Either arm will work fine on the table. Its an entirely different matter as to what cartridges work with those arms, and that issue is far more important.

Stan hjas been arround block but also think Atmasphere has a good point about Cart/Arm compliance.

Something tells me Atmosphere has been around a few blocks himself. :-) I would assume Ssayeed is going to use his current Benz M2. If that is the case both arms should work well. I've not owned the SME, but I found the 2.2 not as enjoyable with low compliance cartridges. And it is somewhat finicky to setup with regards to the damping fluid.
