AMG 9W2 tonearm with SME adapter

Based on the award winning AMG
12J2 12” tonearm, the 9W2 9” tonearm uses a scaled version of AMG’s patented
dual-pivot bearing. The vertical bearing, similar to a technique used in
helicopter rotors, utilizes 2 steel wires that allow fine azimuth adjustment
while eliminating bearing play. The horizontal axle is hardened tool steel
needle roller bearing. The aircraft grade aluminum armwand is anodized for
resonance control. Identical to the 12J2, the new 9” tonearm’s internal wiring
is multiple stranded high-purity copper, and features magnetic anti-skate and
precision locking VTA adjustment. The 9W2, with a pivot to spindle distance of
211mm, is designed for the Linn LP-12, as the second arm on an AMG Viella 12
using the TWIN armboard with oval SME mount adapter, or other turntables that
accommodate this length.

 

Bearing:
