Ortofon Brazo Ortofon TA-110

TA-110 has gone to the next level by reducing unwanted vibrations in the tonearm. Ortofon's material know-how is the first area of the Ortofon technology that was applied when developing the TA-110. As a specialist in technical rubber, Ortofon used one of its   special rubber compounds   when creating the specially shaped rubber with high vibration dampening properties. The rubber pieces are produced at the Ortofon technical rubber facilities in Nakskov. The second area of Ortofon technology is the extensive knowledge of vibration properties and characteristics. Ortofon has acquired this know-how via the developement of Bone Conductors for hearing aid industry. By using this knowledge and the related computer programs that simulated vibration in different shapes and materials, Ortofon came up with an optimized TA-110.   "Ortofon's TA-110 tonearm is an outstanding value. This statically balanced, gimbal-type arm uses a Baerwald-style armtube, Ortofon's highest-quality bearings, and a detachable headshell, and includes a vary good, 6N, high purity copper cable... What the TA-110 does, it does very well. Utilising its experience in vibration analysis, Ortofon injects rubber into a slit in the armtube..., dampening resonances and yielding an arm with remarkable transparency, low coloration and precise, natural soundstaging..."   "...As soon as stylus hit groove, I was surprised and pleased to hear that the TA-110 took musical performances to a notably higher level. It sounds like a very well developed design in the way in which it simply cuts through the grain and mushy present in poor pressings and recordings to really cut to the chase and deliver the goods... ...At the bottom end, bass from the TA-110 was firm, beautifully extended and magically detailed... ...At no point did the TA-110 show any sign of losing control, no matter what sort of input it was fed... ...At the very top end, however, the TA-110 is as pure and clean as could be wished for... ...A superbly
