The SME Tonarme, particularly the Series VA model, represents the culmination of advanced engineering and design in tonearm technology. Crafted from aerospace-grade materials, it features a highly modified arm tube made from a specialized polymer-resin that offers superior stiffness and damping properties compared to previous magnesium constructions. The tonearm includes precision bearings and a re-engineered headshell that reduces the risk of warping records, while its trilobed cross-section enhances strength.
