SME Series III or Shure SME Series III


Is there a difference? I'm looking at a Thorens turntable with a Shure SME Series III arm mounted with an Ortofon SME 30H cartridge in a local shop.

Same arm. Shure marketed the SME III under its own name in the U.S. for a while.

Viridian,

Thanks to the advice and forbearance of posters at Audiogon and Audio Asylum like you, I have decided to buy the "darned thing" tomorrow. I assume the Ortofon SME 30H cartridge currently mounted is high compliance. This will be my first step into the dark side since more than 40 years ago when I had an AR turntable (I gave away decades ago). I have not decided what to do with the "free" AR I received, the one with the shot arm.
