SME Synergy MK2 (full integrated)
Turntable
Relative price
well above typical
Among the 40 turntables in the catalogue, this one is well above typical.
A band places a component against its peers and carries no price. It is deliberately the only price indicator on this page: a second one, measured against a different set, would narrow the two together far enough to give the figure away.
What it is
SME Synergy MK2 fully integrated package — TT + Series IV magnesium arm + Windfeld Ti MC + custom NAGRA phono stage + Crystal Cable mono-crystal silver wiring, in one factory-aligned package.
