Audio Technica AT1100
Low Mass 9 Inch Tonearm
With ASP1 arm tube (fitted with pure silver lead wires), boxed and in really beautiful physical condition, tested and in full working order. This high spec tonearm appears to have had little (if any) previous use.
The following information is from the excellent hifiengine.com website:
Description:
“The AT-1100 is a new low-mass tonearm with a plug-in, integrated arm.
Precision fabricated, main features include extremely low mass, immunity to resonance, and damping to reduce IM distortion and enable high trackability.
AT engineers determined that the fundamental tonearm resonance should be around 10Hz.
At lower fundamental resonances of 4-6Hz, as found in many conventional tonearms, the arm easily picks up record warp and motor rumble.
At a higher frequency of 20Hz, the tonearm becomes susceptible to ambient vibrations in the cabinet.
When the AT-1100 is used with a high compliance cartridge the frequency lies at an optimal 10Hz.
A unique dashpot damps abnormal lateral arm motion and reduces frequency amplitude by 8dB.
Unusual features include the integrated tonearm which eliminates the ring resonance and weight.”
Specifications:
• Effective length: 240mm
• Overhang: 15mm
• Mounting distance: 225mm
• Effective mass: 6g (with straight arm)
This comes in its original box, with everything you see in the pictures, including a syringe of damping fluid, user manual, mounting template and overhang gauge.
