Well, Brian Kearns knows more about SME tonearms than any audiophile I know. He said he talked directly to an engineer at SME who told him they changed the alignment of the 300 Series because "a number of their users were reporting inner groove distortion with the series IV and series V tonearms." That is exactly what I suggested in my original response to your question above. Therefore, I'm convinced that those numbers you are concerned about are simply mistakes or typos. I don't believe there was a different design for the 300 Series that used those numbers. If anything, the original design for the 300 Series would have been based on the same geometry as the Series IV and V.

Thanks for finding Brian Kearns' post. I think it pretty much settles the matter for me.

Best regards,
John Elison
