I bought this arm new in 2018, shortly before SME stopped supplying arms on their own. I have used it sparingly over the last 6 years, my vinyl outings are about 1 evening every 2 weeks maximum.
It comes with the original box and packaging, all original paperwork - instruction booklet, set up protractor and arm board template - original Allen keys, cartridge screws, finger lift and screws and the SME supplied RCA/RCA output cables, along with separate earth.
SME quality and engineering is legendary and the M2-9 follows that tradition. I used it on a Nottingham Analogue Space Deck and it was a considerable step up (to my ears) from the Origin Live modified and re-wired Rega RB300 I used previously.
No longer available, these come up from time to time with varying prices and I have pitched this sensibly, I hope.
I am only selling as I have upgraded to a turntable that comes with its own (good) arm so my current deck and the tonearm are no longer needed.
Please note, one photo showing the arm installed in a deck is purely for illustrative purposes. The deck and cartridge are not included in this sale.
Please see my other items.
