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 fit 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
