Acoustic Signature TA-5000 NEO Tonearm
When planning the TA‑5000 NEO, one thought was at the forefront: to develop a tonearm at a fair price that has virtually no limitations. To realize this, it was necessary to break new ground. High-precision hybrid ball bearings made of ceramic and stainless steel, 3 layers of carbon, connected via special damping elements with 2 tonearm tubes lying one inside the other, an internal cabling made of high-purity silver and our typical benchmark manufacturing quality culminate in an innovative tonearm that is always up against the best of its guild.
Special features:
- Tonearm with triple-layer carbon armtube
- Low resonance, rigid tube design
- Available as 9″ and 12″ version
- Optimal tracking results due to pre-tensioned high-precision hybrid ball bearings by SKF
- Better rigidity and smooth operation due to stainless steel tonearm axis design
- Internal high-purity silver wiring (4N)
- Supplied with external Atlas Equator 5-pin phono cable (RCA)
- Counterweight made of brass
- Adjustable VTA & azimuth
- Anti-skating knob
- SME-type mounting versions
- 5-year warranty (with registration)
“I heard a whole lot more of what I love about playing records when I played them on the Acoustic Signature Typhoon NEO/TA-5000 setup. Enough said.”
