for SME 3009 / 3010 /3012 and M2-9 / M2-10 / M2-12 tonearms
The Analog Tube Audio RCA Conversion kit is an outstanding upgrade for the SME 3009, 3010 and 3012 tonearms. The RCA conversion kit is compatible to the original plugs from SME. The installation is a easy job, all screws and parts fits with the RCA Conversion Kit very well.
The main problem with the original mounted old SME plugs of the 3009/3012 tonearms is the bad connection of the contacts, so the tonearm cannot play on his high level and the some tonearms has problems with hum due to a bad ground connection. With this RCA conversion kit are all this probems fixed, the contacts are excellent with the high quality solid RCA plugs and the grounding of the tonearm is optimized and the hum is gone. Another benefit is: You can use with the RCA conversion kit normaly interconnect cables with RCA plugs. You dont need an extra ground cable to the tonearm.
