Yup on the fly when increasing the VTA...but you have to rest the arm when lowering the VTA......here is what you will miss your graham :devil:

SM E 312 does not use ABEC 7 bearings. The V does ...so I guess the V-12 does too......

:?: So what's the difference/improvements of this new model with that of the early 90s? They do look the same to me, including those rubber suspensions.

I understand more mass as a result of larger footprint of the plinth to acomodate the longer 12 inch arm.

series V12 is essentially a series V, but with a one piece 12" tone arm.

Those rubbers still seem suspect to me as before - the kind of weather we have adds additional strain to those elastic bands that they do not last long and causes instability. Perhaps SME had improved on these materials, too? I'd have thought designs like this had already been abandoned for their dependability issues, and then it is resurrected :|

Anyway, my best wishes :hai:
