Thoughts on SME 10A

I can get a latest model 10A demo for about $5500.00. How do you think it would compare to other tables at or lower in price? Thanks.

What arm is on it? The better the SME arm...the better it will sound...If it has a SME IV.Vi I'd jump on it...Lot's of competition in this range. Does it have a cartridge also at that price? If so, what? If not, what will you consider? Do you have a table currently? If so what? About all that is needed maintenance wise is a new belt every few years.

Agree with above regarding arm, the better the arm the better it will sound. Best of luck Peter
