AMG 9W2 Tonearm

The aircraft grade aluminum armwand is anodized for resonance control. Identical to the 12J2, the new 9” tonearm’s internal wiring is multiple stranded high-purity copper, and features magnetic anti-skate and precision locking VTA adjustment. The 9W2, with a pivot to spindle distance of 211mm, is designed for the Linn LP-12, as the second arm on an AMG Viella 12 using the TWIN armboard with OVAL SME mount adapter, or other turntables that accommodate this length.

Bearing:

• Patented Dual-pivot bearing
• Vertical bearing, similar to a technique used in the rotor heads of helicopters
• Uses two .5mm thick “spring steel wires,” allowing fine azimuth adjustment while eliminating bearing play
• Horizontal axle is a hardened tool steel, precision ground to a backlash-free git with a needle roller bearing
• It is extremely precise, maintenance free, and never requires adjustment
