A point to note if using third party set up devices and not the specific SME protractors with these arms is that the V12 is LofgrenA/Baerwald IEC and the 312S is effectively Lofgren A/Baerwald DIN.
In other words they have different nulls.

SME 312S versus SME V-12
These are SME's two 12" arms. The difference is that the 312S has a detachable headshell for azimuth/cartridge swapping and static VTF while the V-12 has a fixed headshell/continuous arm tube and dynamic VTF.
Has anyone heard and compared these arms to each other? I just retested static versus dynamic VTF on my SME V arm and prefer the dynamic, so that may answer my question, but I'm curious to read what others think of these two arms as I've never heard them. Thanks.
