At a Glance

The new TP 19-1 tonearm is designed to deliver improved performance as well as a far better look and feel. It adds significant value to the TD 240 and TD 190-1, which are now available as TD 240-2 and TD 190-2.

Gimbal Mounting

The entire assembly is mounted on a non-warping aluminum frame. This precision bearing technology rests in ball races by means of hardened and polished steel needles. The same technology can also be found in navigation instruments (gyro) employed in aerospace.

Counterweight

The counterweight includes a damper bush to decouple it from the arm tube to reduce coloration.

Head Shell

The head shell is manufactured from high-grade synthetic materials reinforced by carbon fiber for extreme stiffness and rigidity.

Tracking Force

After having achieved total equilibrium of the tone arm, tracking force is adjusted by means of a precision torsion spring. Its force is always the same with respect to magnitude and direction. It therefore does not matter if the record player is no totally level.

Anti-Skating (Bias)

Bias is individually adjustable via a scale.
