Welcome to TonearmAudio. I believe that a tonearm must be pleasing to look at as well as offering flawless performance. Since the primary functions of any arm are to hold the cartridge perpendicular to the record and let it move freely at the preferred stylus force, it should be able to do this with the fewest parts. Hence the simplicity--and the low price. These hand-crafted tonearms are available in two versions: effective lengths of 9" and 12". Both use two radial ball bearings for resistance-free swiveling with adjustments for cartridge overhang, azimuth, VTA, and stylus force. The 9" tonearm has an anti-skate device, although it may not be needed but, if it is, it's there. The 12" arm does not require any skating correction. I chose cherry for the tonearms because it's stable, hard, and attractive. Different woods may produce different sounds, but it's doubtful if the human ear can dectect it. Much of what we hear is based on perception rather than reality, anyway. What is real is that you'll be able to listen to your vinyl for hours without getting "ear fatigue". I also offer turntable plinths and armboards. The plinth shown is for a Thorens TD 124 and there is one for a Thorens TD 125. Plinths and armboards can be made for any turntable.
