JONATHAN VALIN - The Absolute Sounds 2025 Golden Ear Awards

".....the TA-10000 Neo achieves a level of neutrality and resolution Ive simply never heard before with other tonearms......Indeed, it not only makes old records sound new; it also breathes life and light into the presentation

Our most innovative design ever developed.

The use of ultra tight tolerance, bespoke bearings that are DLC treated to make them ultra durable, and further reduce friction by over 50% compared to any other high class bearing in the market.

Our DLC bearings are simply the best in terms of precision, low friction and innovative vibration-absorbing material. A symbiosis that has been thought out through to the smallest and most intricate detail.

Resolving the contradiction between stiffness and lightness in movement making the TA-10000 NEO the ultimate partner for the ultimate turntables.

Our brand new approach to height adjustment (VTA) on the fly is free of the negative effects, that the construction of movements have.

We ensure the superb sonic qualities of the TA-10000 NEO are not negatively influenced by comfort features.
