SME 3009 Series 2 Improved 9” Tonearm
Fitted With Shure V15 Type 3 Cartridge
I would usually split these and offer the arm and cartridge as separate items, but this was fitted to a Linn Sondek, where it was performing very well indeed. I also know what a fiddly job it is to fit a cartridge onto a SME Fixed shell, so I thought I’d offer these as one item.
So - here in an SME 9 inch tone-arm, with fixed head-shell and knife-edge bearings, in full working order and excellent physical condition - and comes fitted with a Shure V15 Type 3 MM cartridge.
A high quality vintage arm & cartridge combination, ready to plug & play when connected to your amplifier’s MM phono inputs
Bearings and geometry are all spot-on, full signal continuity through cartridge coils, to output plus and the dashpot (arm lowering mechanism) operates smooth & slow, just as it should. The cartridge is good, with full left and right coil continuity, no twists or kinks in the cantilever, good suspension and excellent stylus tip.
Of the fixed head-shell 3009 SME say:- "The fixed head-shell is the purer design with the lowest possible mass - only 5.5 grams…. offering a significant improvement in trackability and all round definition plus cleaner bass and low sensitivity to external shock and feedback”
This comes original signal cable and 4 x SME bed-plate fixing screws. It also comes with a print-out copy of the original user manual which will be emailed to the new owner on request. Also included are exact size copies of the original mounting template and alignment protractor.
