Tonearm: The state of the art in independent tonearms, the SME series 3 precision pickup arm is the culmination of research and development extending over more than seven years.
It embodies a number of significant breakthroughs as well as evolutionary improvements over its distinguished predecessor.
For example: Nitrogen hardened titanium tubing having a wall thickness only twice the diameter of the average human hair provides a previously unattainable strength to weight ratio.
The arm has a soft core and an internal fibrous lining which results in a natural damping of the vibration fed into the arm by the cartridge
