Tonearm Wand TDTW-01Ti
AN UPGRADE OF THE GRAHAM PHANTOM ELITE TONEARM TITANIUM TONEARM WAND
A one-piece high rigidity tonearm wand machined from solid pure titanium with special hardening treatment.
TechDAS is pleased to offer an option to upgrade the acknowledged Graham’s PHANTOM Elite tonearm. This new titanium arm wand has been developed based on our accumulated experiences of engineering and technology in metal processing. It is perfectly compatible with the Phantom Elite 10 inch or 12 inch and offers a significant improvement in performance.
In order to pick up the music signal embedded into the groove of a record, it is necessary to use a tonearm that can provide a highly rigid junction with the cartridge. However, any material with a higher rigidity than commonly used aluminum pipes tends to have a larger inertia because of a larger mass, consequently unstable results such as low frequency resonance. To solve this issue, the TDTW-01Ti employs pure titanium with special hardening treatment, which is light-weighted and highly rigid.
Physically this arm wand features a tapered tube that has a thinner end at the cartridge side and thicker at the tonearm pivot. This enables it to have a small inertia mass while keeping a high rigidity as a whole. It solves the challenging conflict between inertia mass and rigidity. Also the arm tube is completely machined in one piece to prevent joint loss and achieve an even a higher level of rigidity.
With this titanium wand your listening will be taken to a new dimension. You will be amazed with how deep the lower end can be, how smooth and soulful the midrange can be, and how delicate and open the treble can be. Enjoy an unparalleled music experience as never before. It will convey all the emotion music carries to the fullest. The finger lift on the head shell can be easily removed by yourself if unnecessary.
