A similar motion occurs in Clearaudios tangential tonearms, but the arm moves tangentially, with the stylus propelling the tonearm along a linear bearing which comprises a carriage running on precision rollers along a meticulously polished glass rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartridge therefore remains parrallel to the record groove, following the same path as the cutting head did when making the record, thus eliminating any lateral tracking error. And since the record groove, stylus, cantilever and tonearm are perfectly aligned, no side forces are generated and so anti-skating compensation is no longer required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracking force and azimuth are easily and finely adjustable so that the cartridge and stylus are always in the perfect position to read the musical information in the record groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe affordable solution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the TT5, Clearaudio offers vinyl fans a more affordable entry point into tangential tonearm technology. The TT5s surprising and excellent value for money is down to eschewing one or two of the features of its big brothers, the TT2 and TT3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, the TT5 adopts a new, fully rigid design. However, for those who still want the convenience the bigger arms ability to swing out of the way when loading records, Clearaudio have created the optional TT5 swing base which, as its name suggests, allows the entire arm assembly to be swung out of the way when changing records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReview magazine Audio included the TT5 in its analogue highlights of 2015. We are confident that this will still be the case for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysical characteristics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e560 gram (without aluminum arm base) \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShipping dimensions (HxWxD) \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140 x 150 x 200 \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n","brand":"Clearaudio","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":52739889594634,"sku":"CLEARAUDIO-2163","price":2550.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":52739889627402,"sku":"CLEARAUDIO-2164","price":2550.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/clearaudio-tt5-tangential-tracking-48422-p.webp?v=1773933638","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/clearaudio-tt5-b","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
