About this product:Anointed by SME as the ultimate in recovery vehicles because of its propensity to retrieve all of the information on vinyl LPs, and sold here as the Package 15A-V with a supplied Series V tonearm, the British-built Model 15 turntable gives analog lovers the best of both worlds: Enchanting high-end performance and a compact footprint that affords users more freedom of placement. Factor in that Model 15 shares many traits in common with SMEs flagship Models 20/3 and 30/2 ‘tables, and you have a championship component tailored for discerning enthusiasts that want to truly hear the intimacy, dynamics, and realism embedded in their records grooves.Like all SME rigs, pictures dont do Model 15 justice. Its practically impossible to overstate the degree of its build quality and engineering – aspects that continue to make SME almost entirely unique in the industry due to the companys in-house facilities and decades of work for aerospace, medical, automotive, and Formula 1 fields. The tolerances, exactness, and hand-crafted precision of every part directly contributes to Model 15s unstinting performance. Ditto the sum of its individual components.With a subchassis suspended on 30 purpose-molded O rings and an extensionally damped, aluminum-alloy platter complete with a diamond-turned fine-scroll surface whose myriad fibers firmly couple LPs to the platter, Model 15 weighs in at 40 pounds and epitomizes high-density, coloration-free stability. Add to that a 3/4-inch high-chrome tool-steel main spindle encased in a sealed housing with individually fitted sintered bronze bearings to support the platter. A hefty reflex clamp also comes standard, ensuring the greatest-possible platter contact even with warped LPs. Model 15 touts a similarly supreme damping system orchestrated by a central fluid damper that controls the subchassis motion – offering a resistive ground path for acoustic signals, eliminating overshoot, and netting near-zero Q recovery.As for the drive? Your car might be envious. A three-phase, six-pulse, brushless outrunner motor with eight-pole neodymium magnets and three integrated Hall effect sensors, it remains practically vibration-free due to its 5.5-pound weight and isolation upon adjustable urethane mounts. The electronic speed control – fueled by a high-grade microprocessor and a proportional plus integral (PI) algorithm – allows for fine pitch-speed adjustments of +/-0.01% across the 33, 45, and 78RPM spectrum.
