PAR, I certainly meant no insult to SME or any of its products by my little joke with Cool Jeeves. To say that British products have a reputation for complexity is not to say that the quality in any particular case is not top drawer state of the art, for whatever era. I certainly recognize that the SME V is a very fine tonearm. On the other hand, you yourself posted a photo showing four separate and bespoke tools necessary to mount the arm, while most other tonearms can be mounted with standard tools of one kind or another. I think of this as an attractive idiosyncracy typical of some British-designed products going way back to mid-century automobiles, some of which are nevertheless objects of my desire.
