Esoteric TA-D9 Ikeda Tone Arm

RRP: $10500

The TA-9D is based on IKEDA Sound Labs.’ IT-345, which is in the vein of Fidelity Research’s famous FR-64 that has been highly acclaimed worldwide since the heyday of analog audio.
The TA-9D employs a dynamic balance system that is resistant to eccentricity
and warping of records and enables stable reading. The dynamic balance system has
a low center of gravity and a thick core tone, while the stainless steel tone arm pipe inlaid
with brass and aluminum increases rigidity and optimize vibration modes.
Internal wiring is made of 6N (99.9999%) +4N high-purity hybrid copper wire,
and the VTA elevation allows the height of the arm (VTA) to be adjusted while playing back records.
