SME 20/2A set up


Hello
I have just set up my new SME 20/2A and the SME V arm(headshell) overhangs the front of the turntable by aprox 1 inch.This seems odd as the cartridge could be knocked quite easily.
Can a fellow 20/2A owner confirm this is normal.
I have set up sme arms before so I know what I'm doing but I have never seen a 20/2A "in the flesh" to compare.
Thanks
Ian

Ian - I agree with all above. All tonearms will overhang as the table footprint is small. I'm using the table with its ball bearings sitting on a Symposium Ultra platform with great results. I had a custom dustcover made from gingkoaudio.com which sits perfectly on the Ultra and protects the arm while keeping dust off the table. Highly recommended.
