The voicing of this cartridge was on a SME Iv/V tonearm. Please read the Stereophile review of the SME 30 TT. There you can read about this Sumiko Celebration. Nsgarch and Gregad: I don't like the SME tonearm with the Transfiguration or the Helikon. Both are very good performers, especially the Transfiguration, but in other tonearm. Regards and enjoy the music. Raul.

Something is not right I think. Let me know if I can help you out. " +++++ Tks for your offer. I have no problems with my system, the issue is that there are others tonearms that make a better match with those cartridges, that's all. I'm not saying that those cartridges can't work with a SME tonearm. No, it can but there are better alternatives. Regards and enjoy the music. Raul.
