To SME or not to SME?


...that is the question. I have an irrationally strong urge to sell my Orbe SE, a very nice 'table in it's own right and order a SME 20/3. I've posted an ad for a used 30/2 but haven't received any responses. I have a new SME V to mount on the table. Could the SME be a last 'table purchase, or will the urge strike again a couple of years down the road if not sooner? Thoughts, opinions from members with ownership or listening experiences with the Orbe SE or any of the SME tables would be greatly appreciated.

A thread here earlier this year made it clear, from various knowledgeable posters, that tables (as mechanical rather than electronic devices) can be imported without import duties. For some reason, the thread was taken down and I expect that will happen to this one too if it gets more specific on this matter. Ask Southwest or SoundHiFi directly, the will quote you a price that will find attractive, I warrant.

I bought a used SME 20/2 to replace my Aries and I am totally impressed with the quality of what is now an old table itself. For me SME was supposed to be the end point, only now I think it might be another SME that gets me there :)
