Lost in most of the e-mails I received were the words "might just make it," "perhaps," and, especially, "overall." Considering its price ($25,000 without tonearm), size, simplicity, ease of use, and stupendous sound, the SME 30/2 is, overall, the best turntable I've auditioned. It didn't help that the editor put "WORLD'S BEST LP PLAYER" on the cover. Since then, I haven't heard the end of it. Only the Rockport System III Sirius, which includes an integral tonearm, is in the same league, and it doesn't stand up to the SME's low-frequency extension and solidity." I wrapped up the review with: "Overall, the SME Model 30/2 is the best turntable I've heard." Before I write about Music Hall's MMF-9 turntable (above), in my March 2003 review, I wrote that the SME 30/2 turntable's combination of attributes "might just make it the finest turntable in the world." Earlier in the review, I'd said, "The SME 30/2 is perhaps the most tonally neutral turntable I've ever heard.
