Sony PS-X500 turntable

Extraordinary Performance with the Biotracer Tonearm

All of the performance and convenience features of the automatic-lift PS-X500 complement the Biotracer tonearm incorporated in both of these remarkable components.

 


The conception of the Biotracer tonearm represents a sharp departure from conventional wisdom. The common approach to tonearm dsign involves eleborate, separate mechanisms that deal individually with stylus force, skating force and tonearm/cartridge resonance. In contrast, the Biotracer tonearm in the PS-X500 deals with all of these functions in an integrated, unified fashion. There is no manually adjustable anti-skating control, no mechanical linkages for cueing, automatic indexing or automatic shut-off.

PS-X500 features manual operation with automatic tonearm lift and motor-shut-off at end of play
