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.
