Ortofon AS-212R 9 Inch Tonearm - NEW

Ortofon AS-212R 9 Inch Tonearm - NEW

The Ortofon AS-212R 9in tonearm is quickly becoming one of our favorite tonearms for doing custom turntable builds. It is finished and built to a very high degree (in Japan). We also sell the 12 inch version of this tonearm known as the AS-309.

We especially love this tonearm due to its universal headshell mount, its beautiful silver and black color scheme, and its ease of setup.Ā 

From Ortofon:

The Reference tonearm is the culmination of decades of experience and expertise in the field of audio engineering.

All parts and every component of the tonearms have been upgraded with material meticulously chosen to minimize unwanted vibration and distortion, ensuring crisp clear, and accurate sound. Careful attention to precision and durability of every part and assembly in both models ensures lasting durability for years to come.

The AS-212R is a 9 inch tonearm.

ā€œThe nine-inch AS-212R opened the listening session and immediately aroused enthusiasm. The clarity, conciseness, and inner solidity that our cartridges delivered were absolutely impressive. Not only did every detail emerge clearly outlined during their performance, but even tiny fluctuations in the timing were brought out as strikingly as they were effortlessly and playfully in conjunction with the Danish tonearm. you felt encouraged to put on one well-known record after another in order to discover them fresh in the fire of this unrestrained temperament.ā€œ
