The TA-2000 Neo undoubtedly performs and operates in a class of its own. Most notably due to the precision engineering and workmanship typical of Acoustic Signature. Its design combines an extraordinarily rigid and well-damped dual-layer carbon tube with high precision miniature ball bearings by SKF and internal copper wiring by MOGAMI. Along with its stainless steel pivot point axis design plus its Rega-SME type mounting base it can easily be utilised as an alternative tonearm for Rega-SME turntables.

REVIEW - AUDIO.DE
“With a weight of 545 grams the TA-2000 Neo from their own collection is a medium-heavy 9-inch tonearm that is also available in a 12-inch version.
A stiff, well dampened dual carbon pipe, combined with a zero-play ball bearing suspension makes it the ideal partner for the Typhoon Neo.
From the Typhoon Neo came the pure music. What sounds so trivial, is actually the very great art which only a few can master.”
