General Description: the tonearm is packed in one box with serial number and type of
wiring marked on the outside

The tonearm is of a unipivot design with a unique, rigid headshell made from a solid
aluminium block and a base of solid brass which, together, control all vibration as well as
facilitating the stability of the tonearm as a whole. All other parts are machined from
blocks of solid metal in order to provide damping and minimise resonances. The polished
pivot point is sited in a well of oil, which allows only minute friction and bearing vibration.
The height is at record level for optimum tracking, while silicone damping controls resonance
of the cartridge and arm combination and also gives stability in azimuth direction.

Two counterweights allow for easy adjustment of the tracking force and for general and fine
azimuth adjustment. Wires are in one uninterrupted piece from the headshell to the RCA
plugs. When the tonearm is supplied for use on the Stabi S turntable, it is fixed directly into
a brass pillar, which allows VTA adjustment. For mounting on other turntables, armbases
are available as an optional extra.
