I have a Rega Planar 3 with an SME III tonearm, and I would like to try something different. I know that some guys love them, but I find the SME to be very complex to set up properly.
I know that Mission and Infinity Black Widow tonearms use an SME mounting pattern, but I am wondering what others will bolt-on to the Rega plinth. Here is a photo of the mount on my turntable.
I am not allowed to have a signature line.
