Reed 3P, as well as it's predecessor Reed 2P, is equipped with Fast VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) adjustment feature. Of course, Reed's VTA can be changed using fine VTA adjustment knob on the top of the tonearm base, so one may ask -- why is that extra "Fast VTA adjustment"
Probably it's time to talk about what was keeping us busy for last year; actually we were designing, building and testing our newest creation - "magnetic" tonearm prototype, called Reed Mag. This model features magnetic antiskating technology which eliminates the possible noises brought up by the traditional mechanical antiskating. Moreover, it
There are lots of talks in the industry on the best armtube material, whether wood is better than Aluminum, or maybe Carbon fiber is the perfect material and so on. To find out who's right and which material is perfect for hi-fi tonearm armtube, we decided to conduct a little research. We
The main criteria for designing, producing and choosing to buy tonearm are often wiring (internal and external), connections, and effective mass and geometric dimensions of tonearm which is clearly very important. However, there are some other criteria, such as tonearm moment of inertia (It) and acoustic resonance characteristics, which are
Laser-adjusted tonearm operation is based on a level principle and helps to determine when tonearm mounting surface is parallel to the headshell (cartridge mounting) surface. When using laser-adjusted tonearm, it is possible to adjust VTA and azimuth very quickly, comfortably and precisely after changing LP with different thickness or switching cartridges. Laser
