Overview
The TecnoArm 2 is Michell's reference class tonearm, designed to give an audiophile listening experience with good value for money. It partners Michell's Gyro and Orbe turntables.
The arm tube is a custom one-piece design. It is shot-blasted to alter its ringing tone, and 22 holes are drilled underneath to reduce mass. The headshell is integral, with its underside machined to sit parallel with the bearing position, and the bearings are new ultra-low-friction polymer designs on a redesigned mounting base. The wiring is a proprietary loom of 99.9999% pure silver litz wire running from the cartridge tags to the phono plugs, with no internal joints.
The TecnoWeight counterweight lets you set the tracking force for your cartridge, and the new VTA/SRA adjuster sets the arm height so the stylus tracks the groove at the correct angle. The effective mass is low, at 12.5g. The arm plate is not included. If you are fitting it to a Rega turntable with Double Brace Technology, Michell says it can only be used without the VTA adjuster. Come and hear it in our Huddersfield demonstration room and we can talk through the right cartridge for your system.
