Features

Yellow stars denote new features not present on lower models.

Arm Tube

is a high-grade aircraft alloy t0 reduce the effect of resonance. This has the enormous benefit of allowing your cartridge to function correctly without unwanted movements caused by resonance.

Superior Yoke design

encompassing higher grade material and precision tolerancing for the fit of bearings. This results in an incredibly transparent arm with superb tonal balance. Finally, the yoke is mirror polished and finished in chrome.

Bearings

are highly researched and purpose made to our specifications.

Materials Throughout the Arm

are upgraded from the Silver with superior and more costly to machine alloys.

A High Strength Rear-stub

improves counterweight stability in vibration – thus enabling the arm tube to hold the cartridge more steadily. The result is an increase in dynamics and a sense of power and control in the bass.

Integral VTA Adjuster

consisting of a threaded top nut above the arm-board and clamping nut underneath the arm-board.

Falling Weight Side bias

Tests show this to be the highest performing method of achieving side bias. It has lower friction, better constant force and lower resonance than other alternatives such as magnets, springs, levers and twisted threads.

Internal Wiring

is high-grade copper Litz wire, Cryogenically frozen to reduce discontinuities in the conductors. This wire allows great transparency, detail and freedom from artefacts.

1 Meter Upgrade External Cable

(6mm diameter) Low resistance cable with high conductivity Gold Plated RCA plugs to fit directly into your phono-stage or amplifier.
