When planning the TA‑5000 NEO, one thought was at the forefront: to develop a tonearm at a fair price that has virtually no limitations. To realize this, it was necessary to break new ground. High-precision hybrid ball bearings made of ceramic and stainless steel, 3 layers of carbon, connected via special damping elements with 2 tonearm tubes lying one inside the other, an internal cabling made of high-purity silver and our typical benchmark manufacturing quality culminate in an innovative tonearm that is always up against the best of its guild.
Special features:
Tonearm with triple-layer carbon armtube
Low resonance, rigid tube design
Available as 9″ and 12″ version
Optimal tracking results due to pre-tensioned high-precision hybrid ball bearings by SKF
Better rigidity and smooth operation due to stainless steel tonearm axis design
Internal high-purity silver wiring (4N)
Supplied with external Audioquest 5-pin phono cable (RCA)
Counterweight made of brass
Adjustable VTA & azimuth
Anti-skating knob
SME-type mounting versions
5-year warranty (with registration)
