TechDAS writes: “All our unique vacuum hold-down and air bearing technologies developed for the TechDAS Air Force turntables, as well as our accumulated knowledge and experiences with the precision machining of titanium and tungsten, are distilled into the new TechDAS Air Force 10 tonearm.”
“After almost three years of developing and designing for the new tonearm, the result is the most smooth and precise motion of the tonearm due to our air bearing technologies. This allows to reproduce the most minute and subtle detail embedded in the record groove and to give you a you-are-there feeling. Furthermore, the highest damping characteristics of the materials used for the arm tube and main body make it possible to deliver ultimate silence and all the information picked up by the cartridge.”
