CLEARAUDIO TT5 TANGENTIAL TRACKING TONEARM

£2,550.00

With the TT5, Clearaudio offers vinyl fans a more affordable entry point into tangential tonearm technology.

WHY GO TANGENTIAL?

In a conventional pivoted tonearm, the arm is ‘dragged’ across the record’s surface by the stylus following the record groove. A similar motion occurs in Clearaudio’s 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.

The 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.

Tracking 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.

CLEARAUDIO TT5 TANGENTIAL TRACKING TONEARM

THE AFFORDABLE SOLUTION

With the TT5, Clearaudio offers vinyl fans a more affordable entry point into tangential tonearm technology. The TT5’s surprising and excellent value for money is down to eschewing one or two of the features of its ‘big brothers’, the TT2 and TT3.

For 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 it’s name suggests, allows the entire arm assembly to be swung out of the way when changing records.

Review 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.

Reed 1H Tonearm

£2,500.00
Starts at £2500, please get in touch to discuss your requirements and pricing.
(available in 9.5″ 10.5″ and 12″) Reed 1H is the latest addition to Reed’s entry level tonearm series. And, for the first time, they introduce carbon fiber as the Reed 1H’s arm wand material. After thorough research Reed found a way to make the carbon fiber arm wand’s acoustic properties close to ones that normally are typical for the wood. By using soft wood to damp the carbon fiber tube, Reed’s new arm wand’s acoustic properties become considerably better than using carbon fiber alone, and can be compared to wooden arm wands.

Whilst tonearm mass and cartridge compliance set the low frequency resonance point, high quality bearings must be used that allow the arm to follow the advance of the groove, to navigate the vinyl groove without grabbing/resistance/noise generation.

Chasing The Dragon’s first “Direct Cut” album was of the Interpreti Veneziani performing a wonderful version of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. When chatting with Paolo, the orchestra’s organizer, CTD discovered the group had never taken part in a ‘live’ recording. They have always performed in the San Vidal Church which is in the Academia area of Venice. The acoustics in the church are outstanding. So after some discussion with the orchestra, they were convinced to record a live double album there. This would mean that a small crew would have to go to Venice and record 5 live concerts. It’s a dirty job, but somebody had to do it! The jump factor of this album really has to be heard!
