SME Headshell: Fixed or detachable?

Make sure you go for fixed head shell version ONLY.
The detachable headshell has an advantage of not using it at all and to use the arm-mounting cartridges. It also has a resonance with armtube which is the main reason getting fixed head shell only.

A smarter investment will be Graham arm in comparison to SME.

Thanks, marakanetz...I was trying to tell myself that the structural rigigity of the one piece arm would yield better results...though I wasn't sure. And which Graham arm? (They are quite a few more bucks...no?)

I agree, fixed headshell much better. Please email if you would like, I know several dealers that discount both arms. Thanks.
