Product Highlights
"The SME Model 12A is a high-end turntable package featuring a pre-fitted SME 309 magnesium tonearm with mono-crystal silver internal wiring and a 3-phase brushless motor. It includes an electronic speed control unit for 33.3, 45, and 78 rpm alongside an aluminum platter with an Iso-damp surface. High-mass construction and isolated adjustable feet provide superb resonance control. Built with legendary precision, this deck focuses on mechanical integrity to ensure a clean, vibration-free environment for vinyl playback.
Reviewers from The Absolute Sound and Hi-Fi News praise its peerless neutrality and "meaty" bass that delivers a visceral thump. The "house sound" is described as even-handed and transparent, offering a deep background that allows granular details to shine. Experts note its ability to usher the listener directly into the recording studio. This is a refined investment in musicality that captures the performance of flagship models in a more accessible format."
