They use handmade Swiss vertical and lateral bearings, adopted from the watch business, incorporating polished tungsten factors towards sapphire thrust pads. The magnetic anti-skating pressure is mechanically decoupled and simply adjustable.

The Tracer Black tonearm’s precision bearing is 90 levels to the angle of the cartridge offset, helpful for extra correct monitoring and stereo separation. The aluminum headshell offers a big mounting floor for vibrational integrity and permits the azimuth to be simply fine-tuned for finest channel separation. The counterweight is underslung offering an optimum heart of gravity and permitting nice adjustment of the monitoring pressure. The Tracer is hardwired with Clearaudio Sixstream cables terminating in gold-plated RCA plugs.

The new Signature Black Satisfy Carbon Fiber tonearm is the Clearaudio established reference level for reasonably priced tonearms. A two-piece aluminum headshell with adjustable azimuth permits the correct alignment of refined stylus shapes for finest stereo imaging.
