SME 3010-R Vintage HIFI High Quality Audiophile Turntable Tonearm

The SME 3009 was first introduced in the early 60's. It became a very popular tonearm, and is still highly regarded and sort-after by turntable enthusiasts all over the world!

The manufacture of SME 3009 Series II Precision Pick-up Arms ended in 1972. In response to many requests to reintroduce them for professional and enthusiast hi-fi application SME  produced the Models 3012-R, 3010-R and 3009-R. They are basically similar to their classic predecessors but with important refinements. This sale is for the 3010-R.

Crafted from thin-walled stainless steel, the 3010-R features a new design balance system with longitudinal and lateral fine adjustment. 

Optimised for 12” records, this tonearm offers exceptional geometry for accurate tracking. Manufactured primarily for the Japanese turntable market, it delivers outstanding performance and reliability.

Similar to the SME 3009-R Tonearm but with a longer length, and akin to the SME-3012-R Tonearm with an even longer reach, the SME 3010-R stands as a testament to precision engineering and unmatched quality in audio playback.

Thighs waaay to big, otherwise literally perfect.
Size: 18, Color: Blue Format
One issue- the thighs were huge. Otherwise these jeans are perfect. They fit great everywhere else, quality material and good thickness. Waist is very comfortable. I wanted so badly to keep these but I knew I'd never wear them. I tried to get past the thigh issue, but they just looked silly.

The dark cappuccino brown is pretty. This is a favorite just because of the color of the tote. The inside lining color makes it easy to find items. I like it so much I ordered the black one.

Super cute… but not what the listing is
Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino, Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino
First of all, this listing is entirely inaccurate, as other reviews say, the picture is of a larger bag when in reality you are sent something much smaller and without the small wallet. I wanted the smaller bag, so I ordered it intentionally, but if you are looking for the larger size, do not order this. I included a side by side comparison of the two bags. The lighter bag is the size this listing is supposed to be (that I owned previously) and the smaller one is the one I was sent. That being said the smaller bag is super cute and so similar to the Brooklyn bag! Just be aware that it does not match the listing :)

This purse has a good size for an every day purse. It’s a pretty style purse, and reminds me of the Coach brooklyn shoulder bag. I’m not too crazy about this bag since the material is thin and flimsy, but I should be okay.
