SME Tonearm mods and looks upgrade . . .

I read about bronze or metal knife edge is one of  the mods for this arm. As curious as a cat, got a great deal online to try it on my 3009 S2 imp. model ....

Original Look...


Replacement part (Bronze knife edge)




Side by side (bronze & original plastic knife edge)


Finally, Installed (took sometime to spot on the screw hole with ground wire attached inside the tube)


New Look (sporting bronze knife edge)


Here's a link, who tested the mod on different SME models...
http://www.tnt-audio.com/accessories/smebronze_e.html

On that exercised the result varies dependent on the model and specs. On my side, I found a very positive result. As others commented, great improvement on details, more defined LF region.  Clinical or edginess experienced by others may be the extra details that was rolled off on plastic knife edge. Bytheway, I applied small drop of silicone oil to serve as lubricant and damping recommended by others

Thanks for looking... ;D

SME 3009 S2 improved Removable Headshell
Custom Standard Tools . . .

Mounting Distance Guide: (215.4mm & 17.8 mm overhang)


Cartridge Alignment Protractor:


Checking newly installed (NOS) Empire 600 LAC cart:




Cartridge Mounting Guide: (per spec sheet mounting is 50mm from headshell washer to stylus tip).

The illustration above is SME standard headshell w/ fixed mounting hole.
In the case of extended stylus & mounting hole like 600LAC cart,
slotted type is very useful to get the correct distance.



Thanks for looking ... ;D
