Tonearm TA-500 Neo

A turntable is only as good as its weakest link! As a matter of principle, we do not want to allow ourselves to call our “smallest” an entry-level tonearm. The TA-500 NEO is simply much too good for that!

  • 9″ tonearm with dual-layer carbon armtube
  • Low resonance, rigid tube design
  • Excellent tracking results due to precision miniature ball bearings
  • Better rigidity and smooth operation due to stainless steel tonearm axis design
  • Internal studio-quality copper wiring by MOGAMI
  • Supplied with external Audioquest 5-pin copper phono cable (RCA)
  • Counterweight made of brass
  • Adjustable VTA
  • Rega-type mounting version
  • 5-year warranty (with registration)
