Korf Audio, renowned for its innovation in analogue audio technology, is excited to announce its new flagship TA-AF series of tonearms, drawing inspiration
from aerospace technology. This new series features ceramic parts and aerospace-grade flexure bearings for a realistic vinyl record playback of incomparable smoothness and depth.
Alex Korf, co-founder of Korf Audio, emphasizes the advancements in this series: “We’ve extended our signature use of ceramics from the headshell, to the tonearm tube itself, to the silicon nitride rolling bearings. Additionally, we’ve chosen brass over aluminum for the moving parts. As a result, the customers enjoy the grain-free smooth sound they have come to expect from Korf, plus more clarity, better low frequency response, and deeper silences. This refinement expands the stereo
image’s breadth and depth, which has always been a hallmark of Korf Audio.”
As the global vinyl records market continues to flourish—projected to grow from $1.8 billion in 2023 to $2.8 billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 9.4%—Korf Audio’s new series is riding this trend by making high-quality analogue sound more accessible.
“Our innovative design and industry collaborations have significantly lowered the entry price, making top-tier vinyl playback attainable for more enthusiasts worldwide,” adds Korf. “Truly perfectionist vinyl reproduction can now be enjoyed for a fraction of the price of similar offerings.”
Visitors can explore the full range of Korf tonearms at the Munich High End Expo from May 9-12, 2024, at Halle 2, booth G08. The new TA-AF9 model will also be featured in the Engstrøm room, A4.2 F219.
The TA-AF series consists of 2 models, the 9” TA-AF9 and 10” TA-AF10. They are available for immediate ordering through the worldwide network of Korf dealers, and at korfaudio.com. Prices start at 3200 Euro.
