Sorane SA-1.2 tonearm

Product Description

An absolute steal for the price, this is our personal favourite. The combination of Japanese precision, with all the adjustability you could dream of, it's a visual and aural work of art.

The sound of the Sorane SA-1.2 tonearm is quite unique, due to its ridged design and construction, the main arm component is engineered from one billet of aluminium and assembled with great precision and care. There is virtually none of the resonance associated with S-shaped arms and far more strength plus lower ‘critical’ resonances than virtually all straight arms.

Sorane SA-1.2 Key Features:

• The SA-1.2 is available in 3 screw base (Rega) and cylinder base versions.
• Detachable headshell
• Detachable RCA phono cable (din to rca)
• Optional XLR phono cable available

CNC, Machine-tooled and hand-assembled by skilled Japanese craftsmen. This highly skilled and delicate hand-assembly
differentiates Sorane tonearms from mass-produced Japanese tonearms. With standard quality goals, high-volume production
tonearms are manufactured by die-casting and semi-automatic assembly line processes, to keep production costs low.

Gimbal-bearing designs for excellent bass, dynamic sound and imaging, as well as unconditional azimuth stability (which is
the biggest problem for conventional uni-pivots bearing).

For SA-1.2, SA-1.2B, SA-1.2BCS, (As attached photo) two sets of fine radial bearings are installed for both horizontal (set
in the bearing stem column) and vertical (further small bearing at tonearm wand) suspension. This assures audiophiles of smooth tonearm function, greater longevity, better consistency, and enhanced ability to track warped vinyl.

The tonearm wires run through separate aluminium tubes inside the arm, maximising stereo separation.
