TemaadAudio Merlin 12.5''

EX-Demo unit, We trialed a couple of these arm's last year, comparing it to our standard carbon fiber & titanium arm tubes.
This is a very, very good sounding arm, say about 98% as good as our $3600 Merlin titanium arm when both are fitted with VDH wire and for some people it may be just about the perfect arm. As the titanium wand is a little to fast for some carts. Comes with Stainless Steel Arm Post.
this arm can be aligned with one of the 3 standard alignments (I recommend Lof B) or it can be aligned with the superior sounding Under Hand alignment, template provided.


Reviews
This is the review from the sale of the 1st arm late last year, which was a lower spec having a Aluminum Arm Body, not Titanium. The buyer purchased it as a 2nd arm to run a Mono cart.
BruceB - ''So I can’t say definitely why because I’ve never had a Mayajima mono cartridge, but there is something that sounds very “right” about playing my old mono jazz and classical records with your Temaad Magnesium arm & the Mayajima. The horns have a bite and an “in the room” presence that I don’t get from my ZYX Optimum (US$17,000) & Moech 8 (US$6,000). It sounds like music & that's just about as good as it gets.''

The Effective Mass is 22 grams & unit comes golf plated RCA outs. If required, the Eff Mass can be obtained by changing out the Head Shell for a lighter/heavier one that is available from our range. So you can change to a 22 of 18grams or 25 grams arm on request.

Arm Pod to mount the arm is available separately, ask for details
