This model incorporates a number of improvements over the original Series II, designed to enhance its already exceptional performance.Some of the notable improvements in the SME 3009 series II improved (<439606) include:1. Increased rigidity and lower capacitance:The new arm tube is made from a more rigid and lightweight carbon fiber material, while the internal wiring has been redesigned to significantly reduce capacitance, resulting in improved clarity, detail, and dynamics.2. Improved bearings:The bearing housing and shaft have been redesigned to offer a lower friction fit, further increasing stability and reducing unwanted resonance.3. Enhanced anti-skating mechanism:The arm is now fitted with a more sophisticated anti-skating mechanism that offers superior tracking performance in all types of vinyl, from thick and dense to lighter and more delicate pressings.4. Better aesthetics:The overall design of the arm has also been enhanced with a sleeker, more refined appearance that complements the more modern and minimalist motif of many contemporary turntables.Overall, the SME 3009 series II improved (<439606) represents a significant evolution of the original Series II, combining technological innovation with the time-honored craftsmanship and attention to detail that are hallmarks of SME products. It is regarded by audiophiles as one of the finest turntable tonearms available today, imbued with a sense of musicality, texture, and detail that is hard to match.
