One of my three tonearms, one must go.  

NOTE:  The original, medocere sounding SME cable is replaced with new 2017 Purist Audio Design Genesis DIN to RCA, 1.2 meter.   If you want a higher end Purist than the Genesis I will accept the Genesis in trade, build you a new cable and include with arm.  

You can also upgrade length to 1.5 or even 1.7 meter for additional cost.  This is a perfect way to get a state of the art SME V12 and superior tonearm cable in an attractively priced package.

I have original box packing and tools and note that we have full and open communication since I am verified and premium ad. 

The MK3 turntable and Air Tight Opus or Koetsu Coralstone cartridge are not included nor are they for sale.

Features



  • The 12" pressure die-cast tone-arm utilizes the advantages of
    magnesium and exploits the reduction in maximum tracking
    error/distortion afforded by the greater arm length when compared with
    9" models.

  • Internal constrained layer damps minute residual vibration leaving the tone-arm acoustically inert.

  • Fine machined cartridge platform, enamel free to avoid interface resonance.

  • Stainless steel cross shaft, ground and thread ground. Carried in
    massive yoke on Ø10mm precision ball races. Axes at record mean level
    to minimise warp-wow.

  • Dynamic balance. Graduated vertical tracking force control applies up to 3.0g x 0.125g VTF through resonance controlled spring.

  • Stainless steel vertical shaft, ground and thread ground, with integral Ø16mm flange to couple shaft and yoke.

  • Ø23mm steel pillar, heat treated, ground and honed, carries two Ø17mm precision ball races, widely spaced to resist tilt.

  • Anti-skate control operates through tension spring and filament. Dial corresponds with VTF and has a positive OFF position.

  • Lowering/raising control gives smooth positive action. Height of lift can be adjusted.

  • Subsonic lateral-mode damper can be instantly adjusted or cancelled

  • Dual-lock base provides movement control with high rigidity.

  • Tungsten-alloy balance carried on two-point suspension. Extra-low inertia design assists warp riding.

  • Underslung weight housing corrects centre of gravity and provides non-reflective tone-arm termination.

  • Swivelling, damped output socket minimizes vibration transmission in sub-chassis use.

  • Fine adjustment of horizontal tracking angle (HTA).

  • Reference lines on tone-arm facilitate VTA setting.

  • Fine adjustment of horizontal tracking angle (HTA).

  • Alignment protractor designed to provide HTA setting with greater accuracy.

  • Advanced jig/template system guarantees correct positioning.
