Features:
- Tonearm shape: S-shaped;
- Shell: removable, with SME mounting;
- Tube material: aluminum;
- Length: 230 mm (9 inches). The gimbal support is based on 4 inverted ABEC 7 stainless steel bearings, allowing for adjustments of tracking force, VTA, and azimuth angle to be compatible with various cartridges. The internal wiring of the tonearm is made with pure silver conductor cable. Manufactured at the company's factory in Europe.
The tonearm utilizes a gimbal support with four inverted ABEC 7 bearings. The bearings are made of steel for durability and low friction, ensuring precise tracking of the cartridge needle on the record groove. This results in a detailed and open soundstage. The bearing block is housed in a massive steel casing for maximum durability. An internal steel ring further enhances the stability of tonearm movement. The outer ring of the block is left open to eliminate resonances.
The tonearm tube is secured with a single screw, allowing for easy rotation and adjustment of azimuth angle. This adjustment is crucial for accurate tracking of the record groove. The tonearm height can be smoothly adjusted by loosening two installation screws, enabling adaptation for use with different cartridges. Fine-tuning VTA and azimuth angle is crucial for achieving the best sound quality from a vinyl turntable.
The tonearm comes equipped with a flexible internal cable with pure silver conductor. This provides transparent and detailed music playback. The 5-pin DIN output connector allows for balanced connection to a compatible phono preamp, providing better signal protection from interference.
CNC machines are used in the manufacturing process to ensure high precision construction.
