It is very stiff and due to the heterogeneous carbon fiber structure largely immune to resonances. The new arm corresponds in size and geometry to its metallic version from the classic debut model. It is mounted in a classic gimbal with steel tips in sapphire mirrors. The carbon tonearm brings carbon fiber into a whole new price segment. Even better, the cartridge, in this case, Ortofon 2M Red, is included, pre-assembled, and adjusted. As the name suggests, the tried-and-tested Debut entry-level model has benefited from the manufacturer’s increasing experience in processing carbon fiber – which makes it possible to attach your cartridge to a carbon-fiber tonearm for just over $400.
