4 stycken pickupskal med SME fäste - JVC - Audio-Technica - Aiwa - Bum 700 kr för alla fyra. 200 kr styck. Har även ett Audio-Technica pickupskal med SME fäste för rak tonarm för 200 kr. Kan skickas mot fraktkostnad och förskottsbetalning.
Should you jump on a kr200 headshell/pickup shell at all? Yes — against a comparable market median of kr18,393 and even a 25th percentile of kr1,373, this is a clear bargain if the SME fit is correct and the shell is usable.
These SME shells are valued because they’re part of a solid, practical mounting system: a good fit means easy cartridge swaps, reliable alignment, and no fuss at the headshell end of the arm. At this price, the upside is simple — even a modestly clean, intact example is worth grabbing as a spare or daily-use part. The only real checks are mechanical: make sure the contacts are clean, the mounting hardware is present, and the SME connector locks firmly.
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.
