Re: S.M.E 3009 IIIs Tone Arms

I really enjoyed your post. I also owned a SME III and I also thought it was a fine tonearm—well designed, and of exceptional performance. Furthermore, I now own a SME V, and while I think the SME V is better, I think the SME III should be recognized as a bridge between the new and old. The SME III introduced a geometry that is accepted as the norm, nowadays. The SME III was my tonearm of choice for nearly 20-years. SME is a great company. I would own no other tonearm, because the SME V is simply the best tonearm in the world for its performance to price ratio.

Best regards,
John Elison
