Sorane TA-1L tonearm

£1,599.00 – £1,995.00

12″ long gimbal-type bearing design tonearm for excellent bass, dynamics and imaging

A successful tonearm must have the sensitivity and stability to retrieve low-level signals and the quality of the bearings (such as used in the TA tonearms) is paramount.

Whilst tonearm mass and cartridge compliance set the low frequency resonance point, high quality bearings must be used that allow the arm to follow the advance of the groove, to navigate the vinyl groove without grabbing/resistance/noise generation.

Description

Resistance to movement creates unwanted low frequency noise and cantilever deflection, skewing the image and moving the signal generating coils/magnet out their ideal geometric relationship.  The TA tonearm range use a miniature radial bearing for horizontal movement and a miniature pivot bearing for vertical movement.  Very high performance is achieved at a reasonable price.

The saddle and bearing housing are machine-tooled from billet aluminum, and the arm is formed of high quality tubing.

The hand-assembled, tested and adjusted arm-tube and bearing structures guarantee vibration-free and noise-free reproduction.

Reproduced sound is precise, focused and clean, without bearing noise and inconsistent movements.

The TA1L comes with detachable headshell, phono cable (RCA output plug, or optionally as XLR), screws, washers, wrench and marking pin.

Though a conventional arm in appearance, the careful attention to detail produces an arm of outstanding quality.

A spring activated anti-skating device offers consistent and precise adjustment, cartridge downforce is via  rear counterweight adjustment. The removable headshell offers azimuth adjustment.

This 12” long tonearm works best with medium to low compliance cartridges, such as Hana or other MC types.

There are two length options available:

TA-1

The TA-1 specifications are:
Total length, front to back:  288mm
Spindle to pivot distance:216mm
Stylus to pivot distance: 232mm
Overhang: 16mm
Cartridge Weight Range: 15-29 grams with headshell
Total Weight: 580grams (with headshell attached: 597g)
Anti-skating: up to 3 grams

TA-1L

The longer TA-1L specifications are:
Total length, front to back:  380mm
Spindle to pivot distance: 310mm
Stylus to pivot distance: 322mm

Clearaudio TT5 Tangential Tonearm – Black

£2,550.00 Original price was: £2,550.00.£2,040.00Current price is: £2,040.00.
With the TT5, Clearaudio offers vinyl fans a more affordable entry point into tangential tonearm technology.
WHY GO TANGENTIAL?
In a conventional pivoted tonearm, the arm is ‘dragged’ across the record’s surface by the stylus following the record groove. A similar motion occurs in Clearaudio’s tangential tonearms, but the arm moves tangentially, with the stylus propelling the tonearm along a linear bearing which comprises a carriage running on precision rollers along a meticulously polished glass rail. The cartridge therefore remains parrallel to the record groove, following the same path as the cutting head did when making the record, thus eliminating any lateral tracking error. And since the record groove, stylus, cantilever and tonearm are perfectly aligned, no side forces are generated and so anti-skating compensation is no longer required. Tracking force and azimuth are easily and finely adjustable so that the cartridge and stylus are always in the perfect position to read the musical information in the record groove.
