Acoustic Signature TA-500 NEO Tonearm
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!
Special features:
- 9 inch 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
- Anti-skating weight
- Rega-type mounting version
- 5-year warranty with registration
“…it was to the credit of the MCX2 and the company’s smallest tonearm, the TA‑500 NEO, that the musical sequences were as clear as glass”
