TONEARM TA-9000 Neo

One of the most elaborate armtube designs in the history of high-end components, ball bearings used in astronautics which can hardly be surpassed in terms of precision and low friction, an innovative material symbiosis that has been thought out down to the smallest detail and that unites extreme rigidity and lightness as well as the ability to absorb vibrations: the TA-9000 NEO is made for the ultimate turntables.

  • Tonearm with extensively damped multi-structure aluminum armtube
  • Very low resonance, ultra-rigid tube design
  • 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)
  • Counterweight made of brass
  • Adjustable VTA & azimuth
  • SME-type mounting versions
  • 5-year warranty (with registration)
