TA-1000 NEO Tonearm
A well thought-out tonearm tube concept, an excellent bearing and the best materials: with our TA‑1000 NEO you definitely don’t give away any sound potential – not even on turntables that cost many times more. The TA-1000 NEO, available as 9 inch and 12 inch model, comes with high-quality Mogami cabling and is a fantastic match for Acoustic Signature turntables. Lovingly handcrafted in Germany, the TA‑1000 NEO scores with cardanic precision ball bearings that provide excellent control and a stainless steel tonearm axis for more rigidity and smoothness.
Thought Out Down to the Last Detail
The headshell of the TA‑1000 NEO offers virtually no surface for unwanted resonances. The internal MOGAMI studio-quality copper wiring and the included Audioquest 5‑pin copper phono cable contribute to the TA‑1000 NEO’s excellent performance.
A Real Multi-Talent
An extra rigid yet well-damped dual-layer carbon armtube effectively minimizes unwanted vibrations. Of course the TA‑1000 NEO offers VTA, azimuth and anti-skating adjustment, allowing fine-tuning for optimum cartridge performance.
Absolutely Variable
To match the look of your turntable, the TA‑1000 NEO is available in various finishes – including 24‑carat gold plating. In addition to the brass counterweight, an add-on weight for heavy cartridges is also included.
