Tonearms are underappreciated. The world’s finest phono cartridge mounted on a poor tonearm literally robs the cartridge of its magic. The air, the timbre, and the soundstage. The tone has the single task of balancing an incredibly sensitive cartridge in a way that must track the groove walls, yet stay perfectly motionless at the same time. To make matters worse, the turntable is a mechanical device that is introducing vibrations of its own. So, without a properly matched tonearm, your expensive cartridge is a waste of money. There are a lot of tonearm makers, but not many that build a tonearm to our quality standards. We price ourselves on being able to match the right cartridge with the right tonearm and turntable. Together they will give you a musical experience that is unequaled.
