Description
One of the most elaborate armtube designs in the history of high-end components, space technology ball bearings which can hardly be surpassed in terms of precision and low friction, an innovative, vibration-absorbing material symbiosis that has been thought out down to the smallest detail and resolves the contradiction between stiffness and lightness makes the TA‑9000 NEO the ultimate partner for the ultimate turntables.
Special Features:
- Tonearm with extensively damped multi-structure aluminum armtube
- Available as 9″ and 12″ version
- Perfect tracking results due to frictionless, pre-tensioned high-precision ball bearings by Timken
- Better rigidity and smooth operation due to NEO stainless steel tonearm axis design
- Internal high-purity silver wiring (4N)
- Supplied with external Audioquest 5-pin phono cable (1.5 m, RCA or XLR)
