Straight Type Tonearm
The straight tonearm ensures that the stylus (the tiny needle at the end of the cartridge) tracks the record grooves in a straight line. This minimizes distortion and ensures that all the information in the grooves is accurately reproduced. The tonearms and headshells incorporate damping materials to further reduce resonance and improve sound quality.
Non-Resonant Iron Platter
Iron is a dense material that is less susceptible to vibrations compared to other materials. This helps to minimize unwanted resonances that can color the sound.
