The Amazing combination of a VPI Aries Turntable and an SME V Tone Arm.
This rarely seen combination has the SME arm-mounted and set up perfectly. If you would like a cartridge mounted, you can purchase from us, and we will mount it, properly align, and set the tracking, anti-skate, vertical tracking angle, azimuth, and perform a listening test.
The VPI Aries
Features a platter, comprised of an acrylic/aluminum/lead sandwich, and the bearing, incorporating Rulon bushings, a stainless steel shaft, and a tungsten carbide thrust plate. This was the same as used in the TNT MK-IV. The motor assembly utilized for the Aries is the same as that used in the TNT, an outboard dead quiet motor, but is 1" shorter and weighs 4 lbs less.
For improved stability and damping, the Aries' chassis is made from two-inch thick MDF with a 10-gauge steel plate bonded to its underside. Three layers of polished black polyester provide a durable, attractive finish. The suspension is a combination of aluminum tiptoes and Neoprene, providing slightly less isolation than springs but resulting in greater focus and tighter bass.
The bottoms of the tiptoes are hardened steel balls.
SME V Tonearm- Unique one-piece pressure die-cast tone-arm utilizing the advantages of magnesium, replace conventional fabricated construction.
- Internally constrained layer damps minute residual vibration leaving the tone-arm acoustically inert — finely machined cartridge platform, enamel free to avoid interface resonance.
- A Stainless steel cross shaft, ground, and thread ground. Carried in massive yoke on 10mm ball races. Axis at record means level to minimize warp-wow.
- Dynamic balance graduated vertical tracking force (VTF) control applies 0-3g x 0.125g through resonance controlled spring.
- Unique assembly gives high rigidity and allows bearings to be critically adjusted before the tone-arm is fitted.
- Stainless steel vertical shaft, ground and thread ground, with integral 16mm diameter flange to couple shaft and yoke.
- 23mm diameter steel pillar, heat-treated, ground and honed, carries two 17mm ball races, widely spaced to resist tilt.
Questions for the seller |

Hi dear seller it comes with the original cables for the tonearm? Thanks HI.
Thank you for the question. There is a 10 inch long cable with a din on one end that plugs into the Tonearm and terminates into a connector breakout block (junction box) with RCA left and right female RCA output. This can be partially seen in the second photo.
