Other non Rega/OEM Rega tonearms can be rewired from $229 such as SME, Clearaudio, Black Widow, Kuzma, Linn Ittok, Music Hall, Project, VPI, Well Tempered etc. This only costs $29 if done at the same time as the rewire. On Rega based arms we can also replace the base plug with a high quality Cardas mini din plug thus allowing you to use any plug in external cable of your choice. If like me you prefer to spin your vinyl instead of CDs we strive to complete your rewire within 2 business days! This service does NOT include replacing the cable from the base of the arm to RCA plugs. Expensive arms may require additional fees for increased insurance costs. This super low price includes return shipping of your tonearm within USA. SME will exit the tonearm retail and OEM business with immediate effect shifting our focus on our core turntable and tonearm combination business.Īs a lifelon fan of SME arms who has spent his whole life dreaming of putting an SME IV on my Gyrodec I am shocked and saddened to hear that SME are to cease selling tonearms except with their own turntables.Now you can have your favourite Rega, OL, Moth, J.A.Michell OEM Rega tonearm professionally internally rewired with high quality Cardas Pure Copper Litz tone arm wire, Cardas solid Brass Gold plated cartridge clips and using the highest quality Cardas solder for Only $169. The decision to leave the tonearm business was not taken lightly, especially as we have played a key role in the design and development of the world’s best tonearms. The growth of our turntable business and commitment to higher production levels means that we cannot continue both streams. SME has designed, engineered and manufactured tonearms for retail and OEM sales since 1959 and achieved international recognition as makers of the best pick-up arms in the world. This tradition of tonearm manufacturing will continue with the manufacture of our highly accredited tonearms for the purpose of coupling with our comprehensive range of high-end precision turntables in which SME will be expanding in 2020. Whilst no new orders for individual tonearms will be accepted from the issue date of this product announcement, all obligations of the warranty will be honoured. Factory service and spare parts support for tonearm owners will continue. I wrote to ARA once asking for a job after university and received the kindest of replies back. Happily I have just secured one of the last available SME Series IV arms before they disappear altogether. Bizarrely this was all made possible by my Mother who I haven’t financially depended on for handouts since I was a student 30 years ago! SME TONEARM REPAIR SERIES
