The tonearm is one of the most important component of an analogue hi-fi system. It’s strengths and weaknesses are typically amplified over 150,000 times. HR-200S is a great investment as the better your system becomes the more you will get from the tonearm. So don’t hesitate…
In 1985, Alphason set new standards for vinyl replay with the highly successful HR-100S tonearm. It is respected as an exceptionally well-conceived design and well-executed product. In an unusually thorough review, published in the Absolute Sound Vol 9 No 36, the HR-100S was recognised as setting the Reference Standard against the world’s top tone arms.
Since it’s conception the HR-100S has built an almost cult following, highly regarded and sought after by audiophiles worldwide. Now, as analogue vinyl has made a resurgence, Mike Knowles, the founder of Alphason and the architect behind the HR-100S has taken that knowledge, furthering it to create the HR-200S tonearm, with the following features :
- One-piece, composite head shell and arm-tube with internal damping, the only one of its kind which sets the industry standards for tonal purity, clarity and resolution of fine detail.
- Unique ceramic bearings are far superior to bearings used by other tone arms. These have been refined to set new levels for sound staging, definition, focus together with resolution of detail.
- Bespoke pin-jacks and highest quality, single piece wiring provide the ultimate signal integrity.
