You have to get into the 1500 dollar and up tonearms to get something as good or better.
#SME TONEARM INSTRUCTIONS SERIES#
Like Fred said, the series III arm is one great arms on the market. Now it is perfectly happy! Moral of the story, think outside the box! The KAB fluid did the trick for my sibilant Grado. So I tried some 30,000 cst from TurntableBasics.Com and then some 60,000 cst from KABUSA.Com. With my Grado, I found I needed a thicker silicone. The one that tracks the problems is the winner. You just have to try them all on the most punishing music you have on hand. Interestingly, SME supplied three different paddles and 20,000 cst silicone fluid with elaborate directions for what to use. It deepens and defines the bass, gives the vocalists meat on the bones, and just gives you amazing detail in the midrange. In my experience it has helped with every cartridge I have on hand. Hopefully they sent you the small wrench to adjust the pivot to spindle distance and the hex wrench to set the vta?įred said that the dampening might help or might not. If you have black I will modify the protractor to work for you. If you can, you should keep and eye on ebay and buy these parts as they come up for bid.Įmail me at give me your address and I will mail the protractor for the silver or gold titanium tonearms. Do you have that item? SME is not supporting these older arms anymore. The paddles are one thing, there is also a screw down piece that holds the paddle in place. on at 21:04:39:Īnd I will make a copy of my SME protractor grid.One thing though, the Black wand uses a different null point than the silver or gold wands, so you need to tell me which one you have. In Reply to: SME 3009 III posted by Jeff V. Also any recommended tools that may help with setup? Many thanks. Are either the Baerwald or Loefgren protractors suitable for setting up this arm? Any tips on setting up this arm would be appreciated. Finally, I do not have a protractor for the tonearm. Any help on this setup would be appreciated. The bias and tracking are adjusted and I did clean the armlift. One problem I have noticed is a slight pull towards the vinly's outside edge when cueing the record. Are replacements available & is the trough necessary? Also, the copy of the manual's photos are not negligible so the section on tuning the lateral balance is a bit vague. Unfortunately I do not have the paddles for the trough so not sure if I'll be able to utilize it.
