We are always looking for ways to improve. Through three years of production, we have learned enough to take the performance of our tonearms to the next level. Here's what we have done:
- Stainless steel vertical column, giving a more solid foundation to the whole tonearm
- Steel vertical shaft for deeper and more defined bass
- Internal redesign for even more rigidity
- Simpler, cleaner, more premium look
- Completely new azimuth adjustment mechanism for smoother setting
- Warranty extended to 3 years now
I used this opportunity to completely rid the tonearm of all structural set screws. Now the only one left is the one holding the arm lift.

Lowbeats Magazine
"This tonearm is a musical instrument that is intelligently designed down to the last detail, superbly crafted, easy to handle, virtually universally applicable, trouble-free in operation, and sonically magnificent. If I had to settle for a single tonearm for the rest of my days, it would, as of today, be the TA-SF9."

"The hyper-precise bass reproduction may seem a bit slim at first, but it reaches deep down and can growl nasty (...) It's been a long time since the fragile voice was so clear, so focused, so direct between my speakers.Conclusion: The arm sounds better than it costs, and plays much higher."
