| SME V and cartridge spacer @chakster you are absolutly right, but... what did I know in 2009 🤔 🙄 😏Funny however, despite this extemely high 20E compliancy (40cu), plus elliptic vs 20FL fine line, it works and sounds pretty much the same... maybe a tad less grainy at times c... | |
| Who are your favorite A'gon posters? @Chakster, like his spunky energetic pursuits analogue subjects 😉 | |
| Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem Hi again, maybe let us know what your replacement will turn out to be, will you?Having had a look about for some such, before my laser replacement, I had more than a hard time to find ANYTHING comparable, never mind at serious price multiples of s... | |
| SME V and cartridge spacer @chakster many thanks for your kind offer. I had years back partaken of @raoul's endless MM thread vs the rest of the worlds MC cartridges, where this item was also for a brief moment the top cart of the day (or week?). Yes, a nice cart, if in nee... | |
| SME V and cartridge spacer Hi Jim, I'd be still interested if you could mention the spacers weight, if you'd have e.g. a VTF scale/gauge. I my case, a 0.66 gram addition to 5 gram cartridge weight is not to my ears changing the sound negatively on the SME V's 10.5 gram arm ... | |
| Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem Thank you for sharing agosto 😉My ML390S started off life (with me) as a ML39 - then top of the pops CDP and cabel radio decoder DAC in Munich in about 1996.Back in South Africa in ~ 2000 and after a nasty lightning strike wiping out my then sateli... | |
| Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem Noooo, only if you really must! And then what? Streaming, and junk all of your CD collection? How about sustainabilty, 'Nachhaltigkeit'? Those are such nice and ever so well build units, definately no cheap-skate trashy throw away consumer junk. 😟... | |

| SME V and cartridge spacer One more thing, this fauling happens when the arm is set LEVEL and correct tracking force is applied. | |
| SME V and cartridge spacer Lewm, its an old SME V arm issue due to the conical, increasing arm thickness toward the gimbel bearing, when a cartridge is about 16mm stylus tip to mounting platform (more usual is 18mm or yet more like e.g. Ortofon Quintet) the arm (9") starts ... | |
| SME V and cartridge spacer I'm just curious, what exactly is this SME V spacer made of. Metal (Magnesium...) or some Duroplast hard plastic and its weight?Having had a similar issue as you (OP) mentioned, with my Ortofon M20FL Super cartridge, I, at the time managed to make... | |
| Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem 😢 so sorry to learn, eish. I specifically made the lenghty effort to register (quite a pain...) to share my own experience with this issue. In fact I have to do a 'rod cleaning' yet again some time soon. Having switched off the unit over last nigh... | |
| Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem Hi, just maybe try one more thing first before giving up. Open the ML39, take an earbud, dip it in terpentine (terps) and clean the sticky old lub off the two transport rails/rods.In fact do NOT re-lub, else if the unit is swiched off i.e. getting... |
