Description

We are very pleased to add Sorane to our growing inventory of quality tonearms.  The 12″ Sorane TA-1L and 9″ Sorane TA-1 9″ tonearm  may look like traditional tonearms, with their polished tubular arm ‘wands’, but within the solid machined bearing cradle lurks the real beauty, very high quality bearings, the sort that offer and ensure outstanding tonearm sound qualities. A detachable headshell allows the user flexibility of different headshell weights, to match the fitted cartridge. The standard headshell supplied is manufactured from a solid billet of aluminium, deep etched and black hard anodised. All connections are gold plated.

Available in 9″ and 12″ effective lengths, these arms come with comprehensive fitting instructions and templates, to ensure they offer the perfect alignment when fitted, and a quality tonearm lead using high quality OFC stranded copper.  A mounting collar is provided and the sliding ‘SME-style’ sliding base shown above is an option, priced separately at £374 (Silver Finish) or £473 (Black Finish).
