SME Model 60.

EQUIPMENT REPORTS Creating a new flagship model is never an easy task for an audio company.

Listening Using my Model 30/2 turntable and Series V tonearm as a benchmark, I was able to directly compare the Model 60 with the Series VA arm with my Model 30/2 with the Series V arm. A few years ago, SME stopped selling most of their tonearms as separate items, choosing instead to supply them only in SME turntable-tonearm packages. [Extracted from the article]
