Angeboten wird „SME 10 TURNTABLE“ von SME als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler-Laufwerk“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 841980941 endet am 28.09.2026 um 12:58 Uhr.
A strong buy at this asking price, and notably below the current used-market benchmark you gave me. At €3,100, it sits well under the €3,536 25th percentile and far below the €3,996 median, which makes it look like a genuine bargain rather than merely fair value.
That matters because this is a well-regarded deck with real enthusiast appeal: the SME 10 is known for its engineering, stable performance, and long-term serviceability, so a clean used example can be a smart place to put money. At this price, the upside is straightforward—if it’s complete, properly set up, and mechanically healthy, you’re buying into a serious turntable platform for less than the usual asking band.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1946 by Alastair Robertson-Aikman as The Scale Model Equipment Company Limited in England, SME initially produced scale models and precision parts for engineering trades before pivoting in the 1950s to high-precision components for aircraft instruments and business machines. By 1961, it had relocated to a dedicated factory in Steyning, Sussex, and fully embraced audio engineering, developing its first tonearm for personal use. Now marking over 70 years of excellence, SME was acquired in 2016 by industrialist Ajay Shirke's Cadence Group, ensuring continued innovation while honoring its heritage, including recent moves like reviving the Garrard turntable brand.
SME specializes exclusively in precision turntables and tonearms, offering models like the acclaimed Model 30 series alongside a range of twelve standard arms and custom variants. With over one million tonearms sold worldwide, the company avoids diversification into amplifiers, speakers, DACs, headphones, or cables, focusing instead on unmatched engineering for vinyl playback.
Regarded as the gold standard in high-end analog audio, SME commands a niche position among discerning audiophiles for its Steyning facility—the world's largest and best-equipped for precision pick-up arms and turntables. Synonymous with industry-leading build quality and sonic refinement, it appeals to serious collectors and professionals who prioritize mechanical perfection over mass-market compromises.
