TA-2000 NEO Tonearm
Our TA‑2000 NEO undoubtedly plays with the ‘big boys’ – not only because of the immaculate workmanship typical of Acoustic Signature - the tonearm combines an extraordinarily stiff and at the same time well-damped dual-layer carbon armtube with almost frictionless precision ball bearings and an internal high-quality wiring by Mogami. In short: a tonearm that harmonizes with top range cartridges. Regardless if you decide for the 9 inch or 12 inch version, the Acoustic Signature TA‑2000 NEO guarantees that your turntable’s performance will not remain below its capabilities.
A Tonearm for Every Cartridge
An extremely rigid yet well-damped dual-layer carbon armtube effectively minimizes unwanted vibrations. The TA‑2000 NEO offers simple VTA, azimuth and anti-skating adjustment, allowing fine-tuning for optimum cartridge performance.
Thought Out Down to the Last Detail
The headshell of the TA‑2000 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‑2000 NEO’s top-of-the-line performance.
SKF Precision Ball Bearings
The TA‑2000 NEO comes with high-precision ball bearings by SKF that provide excellent control for optimal tracking results. For increased rigidity and smoothness, the tonearm axis is made of stainless steel.
Absolutely Variable
To match the look of your turntable, the TA‑2000 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.
