Angeboten wird „1.2B+SME Sliding Base,im neuwertigen Top Zustand!“ von Sorane als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Tonarm“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 996126798 endet am 10.10.2026 um 17:35 Uhr.
Sorane’s SME-compatible armboard setups have a solid reputation for giving you a very stable, carefully engineered mounting solution, and this one lands in strong-buy territory. At €1,780, it sits well below the €2,482 median and even under the €1,306 to €4,940 interquartile span’s upper half, so it reads as a genuinely attractive asking price for a good-condition piece.
That makes it interesting for anyone building or refining a serious analog front end, especially if you want the flexibility and fit quality these sliding-base arrangements are known for. The stated top condition is the real upside here: if the geometry is correct, the base is complete, and all mounting hardware is present, this looks like a sensible buy rather than a speculative one.
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.
