Offered is „SME Basis Silbern Zubehör für Sorane Tonarme SA oder TA“ by Sorane as new device from the category „Tone Arm“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4917600775 ends on 01.11.2026 at 17:57 o'clock.
Against the recent comparable EUR market, €245 sits well below the €269 25th percentile and far under the €1,341 median, so this reads as a strong buy rather than merely fair. For an accessory piece tied to Sorane tonearm setup, that is a very friendly entry point if the fitment is correct and the hardware is complete.
The appeal here is practical: these parts matter because they help integrate the arm properly and keep a system tidy, stable, and easier to optimize. At this price, the main upside is simply getting a niche matching piece cheaply; just confirm the exact SA/TA compatibility, mounting bits, and finish condition so the bargain stays a bargain.
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.
