Tonearm

Bearing:

  • Dual-pivot design replaces the standard gimbaled bearing
  • Vertical bearing, similar to a technique used in the rotor heads of helicopters
  • Uses two .5mm thick “spring steel wires,” allowing fine azimuth adjustment while eliminating bearing play
  • Horizontal axle is a hardened tool steel, precision ground to a backlash-free git with a needle roller bearing
  • It is extremely precise, maintenance free, and never requires adjustment

Armwand:

  • Aircraft quality
  • Anodized aluminum tube for resonance control
  • 12 gram effective mass

Counterweight:

  • 2-piece with Teflon decoupled sleeve

Copper Internal Wiring:

  • Multiple gauges of high quality copper

Magnetic Anti-skating:

  • Decoupled via ring magnet and 2-bar magnets
  • Magnetic fields isolated in our patented bearing housing

VTA:

  • Precision locking system allowing easy adjustment during play

Armboard:

  • Machined solid aluminum
  • Bayonet mount with overhang calibration
  • Pre-cut for AMG and Graham fixed mount
  • Custom cutouts available
