Michell TecnoArm 2 Tonearm Engineering The Michell TecnoArm 2 Tonearm design begins with a custom one-piece arm tube that undergoes a unique shot-blasting process. This treatment alters the sonority of the metal to eliminate unwanted ringing and resonance. Furthermore, twenty-two holes are drilled into the underside to reduce mass without compromising structural integrity. The result is an incredibly rigid yet lightweight platform for your cartridge. Precision Every detail is refined to ensure absolute accuracy during playback. The headshell is machined to be perfectly parallel with the bearing position to guarantee correct azimuth. Additionally, the assembly features ultra-low friction polymer bearings for smooth movement across the record. These enhancements allow the stylus to track complex grooves with remarkable ease and stability. Signal Audio integrity remains paramount through the use of a proprietary continuous wiring loom. It features 99.9999% pure silver litz wire running from the cartridge tags directly to the phono plugs. Because there are no internal solder joints, the delicate signal remains pure and free from degradation. This high-quality path ensures that every micro-detail from your records reaches your amplifier. Adjustment Setting up your chosen cartridge is straightforward thanks to the included TecnoWeight counterweight system. It allows for precise tracking force adjustments in increments of 0.1g to suit various high-end cartridges. Moreover, the integrated VTA and SRA adjuster ensures the stylus sits at the perfect angle in the groove. These tools provide the flexibility needed to achieve a truly bespoke listening experience.
