THORENS TP
21 Tone arm
For optimum
in tracking ability it is not sufficient that a tone arm has a low bearing
friction. It is much more important that it has a low effective mass, because
high mass prevents the stylus from following the imperfections (warp or ripple)
of the record as it should do.
To overcome
hgh effective mass one can increase the stylus force, but this results in
excessive record wear.
In addition,
the TP 21 is a straight arm and not S-shaped. The necessary offset angle is
independent of the arm shape. A special surface treatment of the tone arm tube
absorbs all undesirable resonances of the tone arm.
It will
optimise ideally with almost every cartridge.
