The Thales combines traditional craftsmanship with the most up-to-date
technology. The cardanic bearings are gold-plated while the pure magnesium
arms show their natural colour. The headshell and the cardanic bearings
are treated with a unique handmade scratch-finish - a secret method
of our goldsmith. All edges are carefully polished to show the relationship
to finest Swiss watches. Each tonearm is engraved by hand.
The effective
tonearm mass is 11g and fits most modern cartridges. The Thales comes
with our self-winded internal wiring made of purest copper. It can
be combined with many different turntables to make the perfect tangential
tracking possible. Please do not hesitate to ask for details.
Benefits
The Thales tonearm creates a bond between music and technology in
a very unique manner. It combines an elegant theoretical solution
with uncompromising technical realization. The manufacturing of its
more than 100 parts is done with the most modern process engineering
in Switzerland.
Our watchmakers fabricate and assemble the micromechanical
parts. Twelve jewel bearings reduce the friction to the utmost. The
materials used are carefully selected and tested.
The benefit in
detail:
- no tracking error and no consequential resulting
distortions
- minimal friction because of pivot bearings; no
linear bearings; no active tracking
- short tonearm with
little resonance
- symmetric inertia at the tracking point
in all axles
- damping and compensation of the skating force
through weights
