Locking Collar

The best way to mount a tonearm to the chassis is with a collet mount. The collet design ensures a backlash-free mounting. A quarter-turn of the handle releases the tonearm for removal or adjustment. The locking collar is screwed to the chassis using a heavy-duty brass nut. If that option is not available, it can also be secured to the chassis using three blind screws.

Sliding Base

The sliding base for the GrooveMaster is a high quality CNC machined sliding base. The brass sleeve connecting the GrooveMaster is nickel plated. Both materials together with the high mass minimise micro resonances. The unique wedge-shaped construction ensures a quick and play-free adjustment. The GrooveMaster sliding base fits the cutouts of an SME sliding base. 

RotaryLift

After five years in production, we now have updated and improved our Rotarylift. The new RotaryLift 2 has been upgraded with a quick release open-and-close mechanism, replacing the separate tool entirely. With a single lever, the GrooveMaster tonearm can now be rapidly adjusted and securely locked in place. Additionally, the height adjustment lever has been extended for easier and more precise height setting. T

Mediator Step-Up

The Mediator is a plug & play step-up transformer. The Mediator transformers are fully custom built. After a lot of listening and testing we have designed a fantastic sounding step up transformer. The housing is completely CNC machined from a single piece. The transformers are decoupled and encapsulated in a special resin. This ensures optimal decoupling and a low resonance. The Mediator sounds sparkling, has a beautiful midrange with lots of detail and space. In short, we think the Mediator is one of the best step-up transformers available on the market.

Scorpion Alignement Tool

For true audiophiles and perfectionists: our brand new Optical Cartridge Alignment Tool. This precision instrument allows you to align your cartridge in the headshell with extreme accuracy—no more risk of damaging the stylus or cantilever. Alignment is performed outside the tonearm, so after mounting and setting the tracking force, you’re ready to play immediately

Headshell HS

Available in three materials, each with distinct acoustic and mechanical properties. 

Aluminum HS-01 — Our standard headshell is machined from high-grade aluminum. Lightweight and dimensionally stable,
Magnesium HS-03 — Magnesium offers a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio than aluminum combined with superior internal damping. 
Titanium HS-02 — The reference version. Titanium combines exceptional rigidity with natural self-damping characteristics, effectively suppressing resonances across the frequency spectrum.

Headshell Spacer

Not all tone arms have a VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) adjustment to adjust the height at the back of the arm so that the tone arm is parallel to the record surface when the stylus is in the groove, or to compensate for the proper SRA (Stylus Rake Angle). You may also find that the cartridge is mounted too low, causing the needle to extend just short of the arm/headshell.

We have therefore had a number of spacers made that can be placed between headshell and cartridge.

Audio Creative PhonoDude

The PhonoDude: From Standard to Ultimo.

For the PhonoDude Ultimo, the goal was to build the best PhonoDude possible. To achieve that goal, several units were built using increasingly different (read: more expensive) components. I won’t beat around the bush: the standard PhonoDude already sounds above average. Of course, it’s also a design that has had years to mature through fine-tuning.

GM-2>GM-3 Upgrade Kit

Now you can upgrade your GrooveMaster II tonearm to the latest version: the GrooveMaster III. The upgrade includes a new developed counterweight which is threaded and will set VTF very easy and precise. The new counterweight replaces the old counterweight with all the extensions. Also the new counterweight is de-coupled from the tonearm for less resonance and therefore will improve sound.
