ViRa model 3RT is an effort to put high quality affordable radial-tangent tonearm on the market. The ViRa tonearms are made of solid milled aluminum. They are super compact, have zero feedback, and are non-magnetic. Each tonearm has 10 bearings to assure the smooth vertical and horizontal movement. The multiple bearings also significantly decrease the jitter caused by the vibrations of a single bearing.
The calculated geometrical configuration, proper wands length and testing assures the tangent position of a stylus to a groove is constant. The correct and constant position of a stylus gets less distortion from the inner groove. The stylus maintain longer life, the vinyl has less wear, less static interference and very low surface noise. Because of this- the soundstage becomes wider and deeper; the images are more clear and defined; tracking improves even on skipping records; warped records have less up and down image speeding. This brings the ViRa tonearms to a new level of sound reproduction.
