When planning the TA-5000 Neo, one thought was at the forefront of Acoustic Signatures development team: develop a tonearm at a fair price that has virtually no limitations. To realise this, it was necessary to break new ground. Acoustic Signature utilised high-precision hybrid ball bearings made of ceramic and stainless steel, 3 layers of carbon, connected via special dampening elements within 2 tonearm tubes, one lying inside the other, internal cabling made of high-purity silver plus Acoustic Signatures high precision manufacturing quality and innovation which have resulted in the design and superior performance of the TA-5000 Neo.
