Condition is the key qualifier, but at €2,990 this looks fair rather than a bargain: it sits well above the €1,837 median for seven recent used examples, though still below the €3,153 75th percentile. It is therefore defensible for a genuinely clean, complete arm, but not an obvious buy on price alone.
The M2-9R earns its reputation through excellent mechanical construction, low 9.5 g effective mass, a rigid detachable headshell with azimuth adjustment, and broad cartridge compatibility. Its 233.2 mm pivot-to-stylus geometry suits many turntables, while the tungsten counterweight and quality bearings make setup and tracking feel properly precise. At this asking price, confirm the original headshell, counterweight, cable, mounting hardware, and smooth bearing action are all present; with those accounted for and immaculate condition, it is a solid enthusiast purchase rather than an inflated listing.
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.
