SME 3009 series II
Brand: SME
The SME 3009 series II is a high-performance turntable tonearm produced by the British audio equipment manufacturer, SME. This specific model, known as the series II, offers several upgrades and improvements over its predecessor, the series I. Some of the key features of the SME 3009 series II tonearm include:1. New concentric carbon fiber shaft: The shaft of the tonearm has been redesigned with smaller, more rounded air gaps for improved tracking and reduced distortion. This is achieved through the use of pre-impregnated, high-grade carbon fiber materials that have been carefully selected and tuned for the application.2. New phasing stabilizer: The tonearm is equipped with a new phasing stabilizer that reduces the effects of unwanted resonances. This is achieved through the use of aluminum sections that are placed strategically along the length of the arm, acting as tuned vibration absorbers.3. New glass air bearing: The new air bearing uses a special type of glass that has been specifically developed for this application. The glass is highly polished and perfectly flat, minimizing any unwanted noise or vibration that could affect the sound quality.4. Improved drag system: The new drag system provides improved precision and control over the tonearm's movement, reducing any unwanted wobbling or vibration during playback.5. Improved wiring and connections: The tonearm features upgraded internal wiring and connections that provide a more stable, low-noise signal.Overall, these upgrades and improvements result in a tonearm that offers superior sound quality, tracking, and overall performance when compared to its predecessor, the SME 3009 series I. The SME 3009 series II is a highly regarded tonearm that is widely regarded as one of the best in the world for vinyl playback.
