Angeboten wird „SME Model 6 Complete set. Perfect condition.“ von SME als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler, Tonarme, Systeme...“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4384076734 endet am 09.10.2026 um 11:02 Uhr.
€3,900 is a strong deal against your recent EUR comp set: it sits well below the €7,434 25th percentile and far under the €10,975 median, so this is priced like an entry-level buy rather than a typical market listing. On the numbers alone, it looks like the kind of asking price that should attract attention quickly.
That makes sense for a Model 6, which has a serious reputation among suspended-turntable fans for solid build, low-noise performance, and a musical, no-nonsense presentation when set up properly. If the deck is complete and mechanically healthy, the upside here is obvious: you’re buying into a respected classic at a price that leaves room for servicing, setup, and any missing small parts.
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.
