That kind of selective and limited product development can leave a company open to takeover if the existing product line is not highly successful. SME has not introduced a completely new product since the 30/12 in 2008. The SME website does, however, timeline recent changes in both ownership and direction, having been acquired by the Cadence Audio Group of companies. It would be speculation to assert that tonearms represent a small, if not (relatively) insignificant portion of the gross income of SME Corporation I simply don't know. Is it a surprise that this change has come on the heels of the recent ownership transition? Without speculating, it is safe to say that the tonearm market is neither a large volume market and for that reason alone, possibly not highly profitable for a corporation conscious of volume, earnings and /or major growth.
