Acoustic Signature TA-9000 Neo Tonearm

Acoustic Signature TA-9000 Neo Tonearm

One of the most elaborate armtube designs in the history of high-end components, ball bearings used in astronautics which can hardly be surpassed in terms of precision and low friction, an innovative material symbiosis that has been thought out down to the smallest detail and that unites extreme rigidity and lightness as well as the ability to absorb vibrations: the TA9000 NEO is made for the ultimate turntables.
