Here is an old review of the SME Series V Tonearm. It was originally published in 1986 and they just reran it on Stereophile's site. I'd be interested to know if the Series V is still a relevant tonearm, or if it's fallen by the wayside.

All SMEs are relevant and command equally relevant prices. It seems the II and III are the ones of choice though.

I don't know much about tonearms. What makes the II and III better than the V?

I wonder why they reran the review in Stereophile.

Hi, Check out the posts on them at vinylengine.com It may be a quality issue or just cost, but none of the SME are cheap. That's why I use Origin Live arms. A step down, but less costly. Now when I get rich and famous.......

Good Listening
