Tacco MK II
The SCHEU Tacco MK II is our
legendary top model with the conical
wooden tonearm wand made of prestigious wood – either thuja cedar or
amboina pine.
Apart from ensuring maintenance of
all the familiar geometric parameters, the development of the equipment also concentrated on fastidious
choice of materials. Thus the actual
bearing/counterweight unit is made
of tungsten, allowing not only a
compact design concentrating all the
free-to move mass into a condensed
space but also the effective suppression of resonance inside the
bearing unit thanks to the high
density of the metal. This method of
construction means that all kinds
of stored energy can be eliminated
quickly and effectively.
The Tacco tonearm has a unipivot
bearing. The tip of the bearing is a
ruby sphere at the end of a hard
metal rod. The bearing recess is set
into the bearing block and is made
of a leuko-(white) sapphire. This
arrangement leads to extremely
little internal friction and, in
addition, the contact surface is
well-defined, eliminating any
shifting of the point of the
bearing.
The Tacco is currently available as
a 9-inch and a 12-inch variant.
Finish and Versions
Choice of Wood
The conical wooden tonearm wand is
available of either thuja cedar or
amboina pine.
Arm Length
We do offer the Tacco as a 9-inch as
well as a 12-inch tonearm.
Tonearm Cable
Our tonearm cables are supplied in a
standard length measuring 1.15 m
from the base of the tonearm. Alternative lengths, as well as symmetric
wiring (XLR), can also be provided
on request.

The Sound
The Tacco is
characterised by
its very clear and
well-contoured sound reproduction
with highly pure bass and an outstandingly fine reproduction of
treble. Voices are reproduced in
extremely natural fashion.
Reviews
“The Tacco has a crystal clear and
contured sound with a very clean
bass and an extraordinary fine drawing of the treble. Voices are expressed very naturally.”
(LP – 2/2010)
“It’s a jewel of an arm ... The
Tacco II arm is an excellent arm ...
capable of extracting a massive
amount of information off the
groove, presenting a platform as
neutral across the mid and top as it
is deep at the bottom.”
(HiFi+ – 4/2013)
Cantus
The Cantus is a tonearm with a
unipivot bearing where the arm
is not actually a wand but is
made up of a visually fascinating mechanical framework. This
reduces the ubiquitous resonances to an absolute minimum.
The counterweight is made of
tungsten allowing the tracking
weight to be adjusted very
easily and reliably. The suspended counterweight design and the
breadth of the frame around the
bearing make for perfect balancing of the horizontal tracking
angle without the need for complex adjustment.

Reviews
“The Scheu Analog Cantus 12 is a
highly impressive arm design that
departs from the conventions of such
devices to deliver an impressive
result” (HI-FI World – 9/2008)
“Attractive to the eye
and ear, the Scheu
Premier II/Cantus was
a joy to have in
my home.”

Classic MK II
The return of a classic. The predecessor of this SCHEU arm sold
hundreds and has almost achieved
cult status. In response to high
popular demand, a redesigned MK II
version has now been released.
The modifications to the MK I are
concentrated on the total redesign
of the base unit for the tonearm.
With high-gloss nickel finish and
improved lift plus anti-skating
mechanism and a lifting base that
can be adjusted in two planes, it
indeed lifts the comfort of operation and the reliability to a much
higher standard.
The principle of a unipivot bearing
and tried-and-trusted features such
as the single-piece tonearm made of
laser-cut sheet aluminium folded
into a U-shaped profile with optional black or red powder coating,
the nitrogen hardened and polished
unipivot bearing for minimum friction and the standardised cabling running right through
to the cinch plugs
remain nevertheless as
unparalleled as ever. Azimuth
adjustment, lateral balance and
anti-skating are built-in
components of the arm.
What has not changed is of course
the excellent sound and the unbeatable price for an arm of this quality.
The 12-inch version of the arm is as
ever the perfect partner for the
Denon DL-103. A well-kept secret in
high end circles!
Finish & Versions
Tonearm Colour
Black or red powder coating.
Arm Length
10-inch or 12-inch tonearm.

Turntables
Turntables from SCHEU are synonymous from Berlin to Ushuaia with a
most audiophile sound quality,
tonal balance and, last but not
least, outstanding durability.
They are all belt-/string-driven
heavyweight turntables and they
all use an inverted bearing.
Production quality is of the
utmost importance to us, and we
work exclusively with suppliers
MC Scheu Ruby 3 MC Scheu Kupfer L MC Scheu SL
from Germany. This means that our
final products are `Made in Germany´ through and through – apart
from the Rega arm on some models,
which fortunately is being built
to the same exacting standards.
Our turntables are carefully manufactured by hand and offer a
suitable solution for everyone,
no matter what your requirements,
from the beginner´s turntable
Cello to the very sophisticated
reference-beater Das Laufwerk
No. 2.

Cartridges
Since 1995 we have been marketing
SCHEU systems with ever-increasing
success. Our pick-ups are made at
formidable Benz Micro in Switzerland to our very special demands.
Most analogue.
The secret, since 1987
handmade in Germany.
Over the years we have been able
to implement our own ideas and
concepts time and again and we
currently have three models on
offer. Each pick-up is hand-made,
individually measured out and
tested in elaborate individual
listening tests.
