AudioQuest® GroundGoody Jupiter 0.6 m Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) Conductors

Partners with any AudioQuest RCA cable to create a low-distortion tonearm cable. Minimizes Distortion, Protects against RFI.

Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) Conductors

Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSS Solid-Silver minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation.

Direct-silver Plated 3/16" (4.8mm) Spades

Direct-Silver Plating is optimized for sound. It looks dull because there is no underlying layer of shiny, distortion-causing nickel.

Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors

Solid conductors prevent both electrical and magnetic interaction strand-to-strand interaction, major sources of distortion. Surface quality is critical because a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the fields within a conductor, and for the magnetic fields that extend outside the conductor. The astonishingly smooth and pure surface of all AudioQuests’s Perfect-Surface metals nearly eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to lesser materials. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Copper+ further minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries, which exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.

FEP Air-tube Insulation (FEP Is A Fluoro-Polymer)

Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. Air, however, absorbs next to no energy, and FEP is the best extrudable solid insulation, absorbing less energy than other materials. The use of FEP Air-Tube insulation, with almost nothing but air around the solid conductors, improves the sound of an audio system's focus and dynamics.

AudioQuest® Headshell Leads with silk wrapping and linear-crystal copper litz conductors

AudioQuest® Headshell Leads

Material:

The tonearm’s design efficiently leads parasitic vibrations away from the cartridge into the mounting board, guarantees the precise tracing of the record groove by the needle and also facilitates fine adjustment of vertical and horizontal tracing.

Pro-Ject 9cc Evolution 9" Carbon Fiber Precision Tonearm

9" Precision Tonearm with Carbon-Fiber Armtube

The tonearm fits on turntables or tonearm boards with mounting hole according to Linn standard

The headshell and armtube are fashioned from a single piece of carbon-fibre.

Conical armtube avoids standing wave reflections.

Four stainless steel tips mounted in ABEC 7 quality ball bearings form the inverted cardanic tone arm bearings.

Arm bearing housing of solid ring type. The massive outside ring is open to avoid resonances.

Sorbothane® -damped counterweight effectively counteracts unwanted resonances.

Counterweight shaft lowered to record level reduces cantilever forces and dynamic wow when playing warped records.

Solid armbase permits accurate height adjustment of armtube and VTA (vertical tracing angle).

Single-screw fixing of armtube allows rotation for easy adjustment of needle azimuth despite fixed headshell.

Silicone-damped armlift can be adjusted to suit arm height.

The internal wiring consists of flexible high-purity copper from the headshell right through to the gold-plated phono sockets.

Available with 5-pole standard socket, flying leads or terminal with phono sockets and earth screw.

With the Pro-Ject VTA it, the vertical tracking angle of the tonearm can be adjusted. You can then use upgrade platters, mats and cartridges. VTA it is compatible with Debut I-III, Debut Carbon, Debut Carbon EVO, Essential I-III (only in the standard configurations). A Philips # 1 screwdriver & 5.5 mm nut driver wrench are required for installation.

The installation of “VTA it“ should be done by an experienced technician. Unauthorized installations void the warranty.

The Pro-Jects tonearm philosophy normally uses stiff, one piece, mid to light weight designs with Cardan pin point bearing. This tonearms perform best with all MM cartridges and MC cartridges with middle compliance.

Pro-Ject Chrome Plated Aluminum 9“ Signature Tonearms

Single pivot tonearm with SME headshell connection

The Pro-Jects tonearm philosophy normally uses stiff, one piece, mid to light weight designs with Cardan pin point bearing. This tonearms perform best with all MM cartridges and MC cartridges with middle compliance. They are responsible for our famous lively, fast and dynamic sound, even in lower price ranges. A unique counterweight construction allows you to balance cartridges from 5 up to 25 grams (excluding headshell) depending on weight of the chosen headshell (up to 37 grams with ´Alu´, up to 39 grams with ´Carbon´, up to 41 grams with ´Wood´). So, this is also an ideal tonearm for direct mounting of SPU cartridges.

However the high-end analogue market has moved to a more classic design and use of relatively heavy cartridges with low compliance and low resonance frequency. This allows big sound on big systems. Such cartridges need a heavier arm with more internal damping. Additionally, many customers today want to use different cartridges with different sound types depending on the music style. For this you need a detachable headshell to ensure easy and quick changeovers.

We use different alloys of metal and aluminum, all worked on the highest precision CNC machine with diamond cutters. The classic S-shaped tonearm tube is made from special aluminum with highest internal damping. To keep the speed of the Pro-Ject sound, we use a special oil-damped uni pivot design. Most common S-shape arms use ball race bearings with much higher friction, which tends to sound slow in an arm with high effective mass. To make the installation of different cartridges even easier, you can adjust overhang at the tonearm base and adjust the VTA via a hand-set without any additional tool. It´s easy and superfast!

Single pivot design with minimized bearing friction
