Michell TECNOARM 2 Tonearm The TecnoArm 2 is designed to offer a true audiophile listening experience at exceptional value for money and easily competes with tonearms at three times the price! Utilising a custom one piece arm tube, the tube is first shot - blasted to change the sonority (ringing tone) of the tube, Michell then drill 22 holes in the tube's underside to reduce its mass. The underside of the integral head shell is machined to be perfectly parallel with the bearing position. The tonearm is then assembled using the new ultra-low friction polymer bearings and mounted on a redesigned mounting base. The TecnoArm 2 is wired with Michell's proprietary wiring loom and 99.9999% pure silver litz wire, from cartridge tags to phono plugs, with no internal wiring joints. The TecnoWeight counter weight allows you to set the tracking force for your chosen cartridge easily and Michell's new VTA/SRA adjuster sets the height of your tonearm, helping you ensure the stylus tracks the vinyl groove at the correct angle.
