Movement is smooth and precise thanks to the high-quality axial bearings, while resonance is minimal. In addition, it offers the perfect mass for medium to low compliance cells.
The secret of the SA-1.2 (silver anodised) and SA-1.2B (black anodised) tone arm is the use of high quality bearings.
The bearings used for the horizontal movement are axial angular contact thrust bearings.
These thrust bearings have no play and are held in contact by gravity - in other words, they act like a single pivot but with several contact points. Thanks to their conical shape, they automatically align under load (gravity) and have extremely low friction. It's simply incredible!
This alternative model named BCS is even more Audiophile than the SA1.2. This version is intended for vinyl purists and demanding users.
- Revised internal cable from OFC copper to pure silver, for improved signal transmission and better shielding
- Cell holder with pure silver wiring
- Negative or positive counterweight, allowing the centre of gravity of the arm to be moved.
