THE DAVA CARTRIDGE IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE TONEARM

For the audiophiles all over the world ORTOFON products reach legendary status. And that`s rightfully.

 

 This is an opportunity to own what's becoming rare and more expensive on the world market. Excellent tonearm for serious music lovers!

(I can give you hundreds of positive feedbacks)
 
here is one of the last feedbacks from July 30th
 

Aligned. It is in an aftermarket VTA tower made for the Groovmaster IIti that was on the table before your arm.
I will not going back to the GM !!! Only my $ 11,000 Glanz MH124 is superior and not by $ 10,000!
I am thrilled at this arms performance richness of tone is it's major strong point. Bass is tight super extended

and the too end extended and sweet. No ringing or tonal artifacts with this arm.

Vocals are on par with the best of the best. Rich defined and harmonically perfect.
Thank you sir. Well done!                                                                   Robin Wyatt   Miyajima Labs USA importer.

Ortofon AB-309 12 "tonearm
-banana-
 
for field coil MC Cartridges
 
continuous wiring included
from the Headshell to the RCA's

with silver plated copper litz
0.3 mm only,no influence on rotary movement
_____________________________________________

on request also with pure silver litz 99.999+%
add 125 GBP


***********************************************
the PSU cable is a shielded fine cable from an EMT tonearm, finer and better does not exist. The shielding prevents the magnetic fields from influencing the music information on the other cables

simple and easy installation of the cartridge
 thanks to the detachable headshell


**************************************************

 
Headshell is CNC high precision machined from a single block of aircraft grade aluminum, Lightness and durability high quality aluminum
Gold anodized aluminium, so it is a durable treatment that resists scratching and marring

the aluminum perfectly dissipates the heat coming from the field
 coil cartridge







************************************************
 
This tonearm does not have a fixed effective mass, but is variable due to its different counter weights and the distance to the pivot point of the tonearm

 

It is one of the very rare tonearms with variable mass worlwide.

Tonearm geometry with the lowest distortion worldwide, you will hear it immediately
 
the geometry had to be calculated by hand in the 60s, because you did not have any computer calculation programs yet, this could never be the optimum, because the 3 parameters for the geometry are interdependent. When you change only one parameter  to 0.5mm  the distortions are great. Therefore, tonearms from the 60s can NEVER reach the perfection that is possible with the computer programs today




 the geometry of a perfect tonearm with the lowest  distortions consists of:
 1) effective length
2) overhang
3) offset angle
 nothing more and nothing less
 these 3 parameters are dependent on each other. This is mathematics and is based on formulas that have absolutely nothing to do with materials. With existing PC calculation programs, anyone can see if their tonearm has the least distortion due to the armtube geometry. This is the only objective method and not the subjective belief in exotic materials or great promises.
 if the distortions are very high, because the geometry of the armtube  is bad, then helps  no ball bearings from NASA or whatever. Many manufacturers want to persuade one. it also no helps no arm tube, made of 500 years old wood, which is the specially manufactured and polished by moonlight from a virgin.

The Armwand  is high damped  with inlet of Balsa Wood
(the inlet of balsa for damping is precisely balanced- when you overdamped you will take the life out of the sound and it will get boring)

 Armwand with matt surface and inlet of balsa wood
which guarantees no resonances in Armtube and Cartridge
YOU WILL HEAR THIS.
