After building finest tonearms for ten years, Micha Huber contributes all experience into a new piece of art: The THALES STATEMENT. Based on the famous correction-mechanism for tangential pivoted tracking, the tonearm stands out with the following features:
Optimized mechanical energy-flow and new materials for more dynamic sound
– Arm-tubes and headshell made of special aluminium alloy with the strength of steel but 10 times higher internal damping
– Arm-tubes curved for maximum rigidness
– Bearing unit completely capsuled to increase the mechanical rigidity up to 100x
– Elliptic shaping of base parts to increase critical contact surfaces
– Ruthnium coating on bearing- and base-parts to increase the damping properties
Optimized electrical shielding properties
– All arm-parts golden- (for gold version) or rhodium-coated (for silver version)
– New bearing technology to ensure low-impedance connection points from base to head
– New fine-adjustment-mechanism for more preciseness
– Fine adjustment device for VTA with 1/10mm scale
– Fine adjustment device for Azimuth with 1/3° scale
– Advanced clamping mechanism inside installation-ring to allow on-fly adjustment
