TA-7000 NEO

Acoustic Signature

Welcome to the abso­lute world class of tone­arms! With its carbon armtube, its special inner cons­truc­tion, the ball bea­rings used in space technology, the high-purity silver wiring and last but not least the famous manu­factu­ring quality of Acoustic Signa­ture, the TA‑7000 NEO is one of those tonearms which are rather limited by the choice of the cartridge or turntable. In short: The 9-inch and 12-inch versions of the TA‑7000 NEO are made to be paired with the very best cart­ridges and turn­tables.

TA-7000 NEO Review on 10 Audio 02/2023

“This tone­arm can be called ‘The Feather’. The bea­rings and fit-and-finish are so smooth and refined that there is a barely percep­tible feel of the arm when it is moved by hand. Think of the air resis­tance when you move a feather. Lateral resis­tance, left-and-right, is just barely noticed and only the 2 grams or so from the cartridge tracking force is felt. It feels as light as a feather. There is no play in the bearings, no chatter or wobble which is exactly as it should be. The very fine threads in the counter­weight make adjus­ting VTF a simple task. Setting VTA with the SME mount is very manual. The overall finish of the tone­arm is perfect and meets our expec­tations for superior German crafts­manship.”

“Authority over the entire band­width, trans­parency, verve – every­thing is there to let the die-hard analogue lover enter vinyl heaven. The longer I listen to the … TA-7000 NEO, the more I can join our Ameri­can and Asian collea­gues who have declared products from Acoustic Signa­ture’s NEO series to be refe­rences. It’s time we got the message in this country too: This is simply world class! Full stop.”
