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 262698462 ends on 14.11.2026 at 18:01 o'clock.
Strong deal: at €269, this sits well below the €269 25th percentile? Wait—using your own benchmark, the asking price is at the bottom end of the recent market and effectively a bargain versus the €1,354 median and €1,552 75th percentile. For a niche tonearm accessory, that makes it look attractively priced rather than merely fair.
What makes it interesting is the support it gives to Sorane SA/TA arm setups: these basis parts are the sort of unobtrusive but useful pieces that can help a build feel complete and keep the arm mounted properly. If the unit is clean and complete, the upside is straightforward—buy it cheaply, fit it, and enjoy a tidy, purpose-matched solution without paying typical enthusiast-market money.
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.
