The HR-200S is a versatile, elegant and thoroughly engineered tonearm that continues to push the boundaries of innovation and punch well above its weight. Meticulously hand-assembled, the one-piece titanium head shell and arm tube, coupled with bespoke, ultra-rigid ceramic bearings, optimise frequency response and achieve the highest standards of tonal neutrality. Its advanced composite construction significantly increases stiffness. Four times more structurally rigid than the HR-100S, the composite head shell absorbs over 90% of the vibration energy, making it the ideal cartridge platform.
“Dynamics are quick and lively, with the ability to project musical energy irrespective of frequency. The even spectral balance and tonal purity add up to poised, unflappable performances notable for their sense of clarity and musical purpose.”
Bespoke Ceramic Bearings
Unmatched in precision, our bespoke, ultra-rigid ceramic bearings are up to 20,000 times more rigid than those used in other tonearms. Designed with zero clearance, the unique bearings provide state-of-the-art sound staging, supreme definition, time alignment and focus across the entire frequency range.
Advanced OCC Wiring & Pin Jack
A single crystal, high-purity advanced OCC wire with minimal capacitance and inductance runs from the cartridge to the external connector. Our advanced OCC wiring enables the HR-200S to achieve exceptional transparency, focus, dynamic range and blackness of backdrop for true-life audio reproduction.
