AMG V12 vs SME 20/12

There is a logical relationship since AMG does much of the custom machining of parts used in Brinkmann tables.

The OP asked about the Brinkmann Bardo down the thread on 9/9/13.

Ended up buying the SME 20/12 but with V12 arm. Couldn't hold off on my dream cartridge, the Ortofon MC Anna. Just picked one up 2 days ago.

What a wonderful sounding record player, love it.

People have sold sme 30 to buy the Bardo before so this is a strange move. Better to put the Anna on a bardo. The 10.5 is significantly better than the V in every respect bar one (lack of treble zing).

Have you considered PMC speakers to go with your bryston kit? You will find its a big advance on the focal and match the bryston well. Go for an IB2 at least

Did you try the anna on the bardo? or the winfield on the SME?
