I agree with Dan. Great job. The MT10 is a really good table and the SME should make it exceptional!! Looking forward to your SQ comments.

It's looks like that arm has all the Adjustments one may need.

Where did Andrew go? I have some turntable upgrade fever. Would like to know what he thought of the updated Tonearm.

Tim .... find a gently used MT10 and don’t look back. It’s a really wonderful table.

Thank you Jason. I reached out to the Magnolia in Dallas. (where I purchased my McIntosh gear) and they don't have a M10 to demo. But working on a way for me to listen.

After a few tweaks, the VPI Classic Sig is playing better than ever. I think its due to some nice Nordost interconnects and power cables though.

But I Just have that TT fever.
