I'm currently enjoying an Ortofon SPU Mono GM MkII cartridge. I’ve never heard an SPU before. It's a lovely thing. I’ve been wanting to try one for years but I’ve not had a suitable arm until the SME...

Due to buying the new Tone Poet reissue of this album, I’m selling my John Coltrane - Blue Train double album which has both the mono and stereo versions.

It’s in excellent condition and is priced...

That Thorens is lovely. What SPU did you go for Stuart?

Also, how are you enjoying the Tannoys? Are they your main speaker now? Still HPDs or did you find Golds for them?

That Pioneer is a real beauty. Very nice indeed.

Stuart, your Sony APR looks awesome. What a machine. Did you know that you can buy a custom stand for it?

Jamie, it probably won't help with regard to the comparison doing your head in but, for what its worth, I'll expand a little on where I'm at.

First a little history. I bought the SP10, fully...

Thanks for the clarification Barry. I just prefer the look of the arm with the wayrod underslung so I'll stick with that position. By contrast, I think it looks slightly ungainly the way I had it...

To be honest, they're both great decks and I'd be happy with either. That said, there's something about the Sony's presentation that gives it a slight edge in my opinion. I find it hard to articulate...

Thanks to Peter of this parish a 2m Atlas Hyper Integra tonearm interconnect arrived this morning. Two hours of faffing later and I now have two working turntables. The Sony, after many years on the...

In a clumsy moment I broke the Pure Silver Hair Wire in my newly acquired SME 3012. There’s enough there to comfortably rewire a 9" arm and leave plenty of slack.

There are 4 lengths that came out...

Thanks Barry. I hadn't spotted that. Now that you have mentioned it I noticed that there is also a pic in there of a series 2 showing the wayrod in the wrong orientation.

Lots of useful info there, thanks Lawrence. I've saved a copy.

I was wondering why are you drawing my attention to the brochure covers at the end of the brochure? Those arms are all later...

Thanks Barry for confirming that the SPUs are a good match for my arm. Good to know.

Also thanks for pointing out my rookie error with the wayrod. Someone else on another forum did the same and...

Thanks Grant. I think that it's too good a deck to be languishing unused but it was a major pain moving the V-12 back and forth from the Sony to the Technics. I've always loved the look of the 3012...

I bought a lovely SME 3012 a few weeks ago to use with my SP10 which had been lurking unused under the bed for the last year.

I thought the 3012 would fit fine on my plinth which had no armboard...

See first paragraph page 7.

Thanks very much for your replies chaps. Much appreciated. Would a further gram for the finger lift be about right making 8.5 grams in total?

Does anyone know the weight of the headshell that was originally supplied with the SME 3009 or 3012 series 2, non improved version?

I just bought a 3012 s2 without a headshell and have ordered a...
