This tonearm shows
Swiss precision. Thales AV stands for Aluminium Version because the
arms are made of a special aluminium alloy. The bronze anodized finish
of these arms guarantiees a unique look and provides high corrosion-resistance.
The cardanic bearings are hard chrome-plated to point out the impression
of a high-precision-instrument.
The effective tonearm mass is 20g
and fits most modern cartridges. The Thales AV comes with our self-winded
internal wiring made of purest copper. It can be combined with many
different turntables to make the perfect tangential tracking possible.
Please do not hesitate to ask for details.
Benefits
The Thales tonearm creates a bond between music and technology in
a very unique manner. It combines an elegant theoretical solution
with uncompromising technical realization. The manufacturing of its
more than 100 parts is done with the most modern process engineering
in Switzerland.
Our watchmakers fabricate and assemble the micromechanical parts.
Twelve jewel bearings reduce the friction to the utmost. The materials
used are carefully selected and tested.
The benefit in detail:
- no tracking error and no consequential resulting distortions
- minimal friction because of pivot bearings; no linear bearings;
no active tracking
- short tonearm with little resonance
- symmetric inertia at the tracking point in all axles
- damping and compensation of the skating force through weights
