Also, many use way too much damping on the SME arms, which deadens the sound and gives the "wooly bass" that SME arms are noted for - that is ALWAYS the result of improper setup.
The problem with buying any table at this price is that like a high performance car, they are easier to set up WRONG. A REGA P3 is tough to get wrong, but a precision instrument like the SME 20 needs a little care to sound its best...
Keep that in mind with any table in this range...
