The SME Model 60 is your LP zenith, a sign of you reaching the vinyl summit. The SME Model 60 One of One turntable is the ultimate seal of that ‘forever home’ deal.

The word ‘precision’ is redundant with SME. It’s all ‘precision’. It’s baked into the very fabric of the company. However, it also applies to the Series VA tonearm, which is only available on the Model 60 and Model 60 One of One.
Selling Point 1
SME’s bespoke 'One of One’ concept was mastered by the SME works chemist who developed a unique range of anodised colours. These aren’t just RAL colours to let your turntable match your Lamborghini. The company’s resident Walter White of the pigments has cooked up 75 colours, celebrating three-quarters of a century of SME.
Selling Point 1
If you like the control and grip any that SME turntable and arm brings to music, you are already in the market for a Model 60; you – and your bank balance – just don’t know it yet.

It is no overstatement to rank the Model 60 turntable with its Series VA tonearm as the new standard by which all high-end turntables should be judged.

Selling Point 1
With its Model 60, SME has taken the deck many already considered to be ‘the best’ and made it even better. Both turntable and arm are exquisitely engineered and finished and combine to weave a musical spell that’s at once both compelling and exacting.
Selling Point 1
Without doubt, the Model 60 is the most pitch-stable belt-driven deck we have tested. Its presentation has an effortlessness and neutrality that is nothing short of enthralling, and completely free of unwanted ‘character’.
Selling Point 1
The astonishing, incredible level of detail never once left the Model 60 sounding like a surgical instrument heartlessly dissecting the music. Rather, its level of insight worked to knit the music together as a whole. Detail is definitely not the enemy; I’ve always found that more information equals more musical enjoyment, and the Model 60 showcased this theory exquisitely.

The Model 60 should be considered the new real-world reference against which other turntables can be judged. By 'real world' I mean that, while it may cost as much as a nice car, the Model 60 doesn’t cost as much as a nice house, like some of its competitors do.

Selling Point 1
The SME Model 60 can dance on its tiptoes, with finesse and fine gradations of tonal color that go beyond even the formidable Model 30/2 turntable with Series V tonearm combination.
Selling Point 1
Intense dynamics and tight, powerful bass extension have long been hallmarks of SME turntables, and the Model 60 pushes that reputation even further. But it wasn’t just the low end that impressed. The Model 60 also offers a sense of ease and effortlessness.
Selling Point 1
The Model 60 should be considered an heirloom turntable, as its build quality should allow it to continue making music for several generations.

Across the lower registers, the Model 60 sounds impeccable. The deck’s bass delivery is extended, fluid and taut, and when impact is required, it happily provides it. It is flawless, too, when it comes to the detail and texture of bass instruments.
Selling Point 1
The sense of sumptuous clarity continues into the top end, with vocal performances in particular an absolute joy to behold.
Selling Point 1
No matter what sort of music we choose to pass under the stylus, the Model 60 lifts every element out of the groove and serves them up in a way we’ve seldom encountered.

This turntable is almost impossible to beat in terms of effort and precision. It noticeably displaces our references.

Selling Point 1
There is the sheer, unlimited size of the perfectly organised soundstage, which is presented with an attitude of absolute ease and casualness.
Selling Point 1
The Model 60 produces the bass in a lively-dancing way, stringy as well as full-bodied.
Selling Point 1
It is indeed that often dreamed about but rarely achieved high-end grandeur which awaits the lucky owner of a Model 60.

The SME Model 60 is without doubt one of the finest turntables money can buy.
What Hi-Fi?, UK, 06/2022
Selling Point 1
The Model 60 may be a precision instrument but it still has the aura of something that's intended to be passed down between generations even with heavy use.
Selling Point 1
We’re treated to an impressive sense of scale, with the sound spreading well beyond the physical edges of the speakers. The stereo imaging is focussed and nicely layered. It displays impressive stability when the music becomes demanding, locking instruments in place regardless of the complexity.
Selling Point 1
This deck is an evolution of the original flagship; one that follows the same engineering principles but takes advantage of modern production techniques and materials where they're deemed desirable.

Sonically, the SME Model 60 sets a new standard – not just for SME, but for vinyl replay in general. In short, I have heard no better way of playing vinyl records.

The new SME Model 60 with Series VA arm is an overwhelmingly successful upgrade to what was formerly the company’s flagship Model 30. It achieves new SME greatness without forsaking the vision of founder Alastair Robertson-Aikman, who would surely appreciate both this new turntable/arm combo and where his company is headed.
