Ignoring both xenophobia on the part of the British and envy on the part of everyone else, it remains the most successful high-end tonearm of all time, and is the template for superior “universal” tonearms able to handle a wide range of cartridges on an equally wide range of “motor units.” Maximum tracking error: 0.Depending on when you start the counting, last year marked the 50th anniversary of the SME 3009 tonearm. Oracle SME V Tonearms all come in silver finish with Oracle branding and MCS-150 (Mono Crystal Silver) internal wiring. Advanced jig/template system guarantees correct positioning. New design alignment protractor sets HTA with greater accuracy. Fine adjustment of horizontal tracking angle (HTA). Reference lines on tone-arm facilitate VTA setting. Swivelling damped output socket minimises vibration transmission in sub-chassis use. Adjustment leadscrew journalled in twin ball races with lever clamping. Underslung weight housing corrects centre of gravity and provides non-reflective tone-arm termination. Extra-low inertia design assists warp riding. Tungsten-alloy balance weight carried on damped two-point suspension. Dual-lock base provides movement control with high rigidity. Subsonic lateral mode fluid damper can be instantly adjusted or cancelled. Lowering/raising control gives smooth positive action. Dial corresponds with VTF and has positive OFF position. Anti-skate control operates through tension spring and filament. 23mm diameter steel pillar, heat treated, ground and honed, carries two 17mm ABEC 7 ball races, widely spaced to resist tilt. Stainless steel vertical shaft, ground and thread ground, with integral 16mm diameter flange to couple shaft and yoke. Unique assembly gives high rigidity and allows bearings to be critically adjusted before tone-arm is fitted. Dynamic balance graduated vertical tracking force (VTF) control applies 0-3g x 0.125g through resonance controlled spring. Axis at record mean level to minimise warp-wow. Carried in massive yoke on 10mm ABEC 7 ball races. A Stainless steel cross shaft, ground and thread ground.
#BEST SME TONEARM FREE#
Fine machined cartridge platform, enamel free to avoid interface resonance. Internal constrained layer damps minute residual vibration leaving the tone-arm acoustically inert. Unique one-piece pressure die-cast tone-arm utilising the advantages of magnesium, replace conventional fabricated construction. The tonearm cable provided is a Van Den Hul M.C. Oracle SME V Tonearms all come in silver finish with Oracle branding and MCS-150 (Mono Crystal Silver) internal wiring. The result is a subtle loss of clarity, dynamic range and transient attack that can make the sound from even the best system tiring to listen to. Unless the pick-up arm holds the latter against even the minutest movement at audio frequencies the signal will be modified in some way. Reproduction can only be true therefore when all movement representing groove modulation is made by the armature to which the stylus cantilever is attached and none by the stator represented by the cartridge body. All cartridges employ relative motion between armature and stator portions of a generating system to produce the signal output. The functioning of a pick-up arm appears simple but is in fact very complex.
It escapes the 'LP' sound and demonstrates that structural resonances in pick-up arms are responsible for much that makes vinyl records readily discernible from master tapes.
#BEST SME TONEARM SERIES#
The series V sound has an almost startling dynamic range and neutrality enabling high levels to be enjoyed. The work took almost four years and the measure of its success is the acceptance of the Series V precision pick-up arm by technical experts and users as one of the world's truly great audio products. SME engineers, recognising the potential of the latest complementary equipment, accepted the challenge to design and build a pick-up arm which unlike others in existence would make no detectable sound contribution of its own.
