RE: SME tonearm interchangabillity

The series one and series two improved arm wands are not interchangable. Actually the early series two and the series two "improved" are not interchangable. Go to the vinylengine website and look around and you will eventually see a couple of exploded view pictures and you will see why. The series one arm (or early series two, which is my favorite), uses a two piece rubber connector to attach the much longer end of the counterweight extension arm. The series two "improved" arm has a "spider" that screws on to the rear of the armtube, and the (smaller) type counterweight screws onto this. The series one and early series two arms are much more versatile,as you can even use a 30 gram Ortofon SPU cartridge with them, providing you have the additional counterweight. Hope this helps, regards, wpod
