* The major key to tonearm quality is the sensitivity and stability in retrieving delicate signals, for which the bearings are the determining factor. The TA-1 employs a miniature radial bearing for horizontal movement and a miniature pivot bearing for vertical movement. Very high performance is achieved at a reasonable price. * The body is constructed from a machine-tooled solid aluminum block. * The hand-assembled arm wand satisfies every vital condition necessary for vibration-free and noise-free reproduction. * Reproduced sound is precise and clean, thanks to hand assembly by highly skilled craftsmen. * Comes with detachable headshell, phono cable (RCA output plug, or optionally as XLR), screws, washers, wrench and marking pin.
