The Wand Tonearm Models

On paper, 12" arms offer a 30% reduction in distortion compared to a 9in" arm. We have been 'converted' to 12" arms, because while the essential tonality is the same there is an increase in musical detail and image depth. The 14in Master model takes this to new lengths but is only available to special order. The massive strength of The Wand armtube means the benefits of this length can be heard rather than lost in added resonances.

Our 10.3" arm is a great way of having 2/3 of the benefits of the 12" arms in a more compact package. It is designed explicitly to be the longest arm you can fit on a Linn LP12 or Technics SL1200 family turntable, inlcuding the new GR models (or similar compact turntables). Special mounting kits are available to make this even easier.
