Offered is „SME Basis Black 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 9336702452 ends on 10.11.2026 at 19:22 o'clock.
This is a straightforward, niche accessory, and the asking price looks like a strong deal. At €269, it sits right on the 25th percentile of the recent used market and far below the €1,348 median, so this is priced at the very low end of normal rather than merely “reasonable.”
That makes it attractive if you actually need this interface piece for a Sorane arm setup, since these kinds of mount-specific accessories are often bought for fit, not fashion. The upside is practical: a clean, correctly matched example can save time and keep a premium arm install neat and rigid. At this price, I’d mainly confirm the exact compatibility for your SA or TA arm and that all original hardware is present, because the value here is in getting the right part complete.
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.
