Those SME tonearms are the shiznit! 
You know, this will be the very first SME arm I own. I've never owned one before, but I have listened to many in unfamiliar systems. So never really understood how much the arm was doing. Regardless, I will learn more about them this time around. Their reputation is unprecedented...the 3009, 3012 series. We shall see
NICE! Micro Seiki tables are fantastic. Name any ultra high-end Japanese table from the '70s and '80s, and it's almost a sure bet that Micro had a hand in making it.
Totally agree. Micro Seiki ruled the roost back then for building world class turntables. I currently own a BL-21 which I acquired brand new, sealed. That is such a joy to use even though it is a basic belt drive. Still many times better looking than comparable belt drives today. The BL-91 is an upper mid level belt drive Micro Seiki. So should be a big improvement, at least I hope it is. I've lusted after one for many years....just was never able to acquire it...the stars were never aligned....till today.
