The AXIOM - a consequent tonearm available in 2 versions

with fixed mounting head for any 1/2" cartridge

unique SRA/VTA-mechanism incorporated
unique adjustable SME-bayonet

or

with SME-bayonet mounting for detachable headshells and

       Ortofon SPU,  

       EMT "Tondosen",

       FR-7

       and other integrated headshell cartridges

       ( like Technics, Yamaha, Sony, Ikeda et al)

 

 

The AXIOM offers - in both versions - an unique complete range of features, with several options & features not available in any other tonearm.

 

A personal note:

I always had a kind of "love affair" with 2 versions of the venerable Fidelity Research FR-7f integrated headshell cartridges made by Fidelity Research in the early 80ies of the last century.

 

Having used these favorites of mine on FR66s and FR64s tonearms for 2 decades constantly made me wonder, why no tonearm ever offered the option to actually adjust integrated headshell cartridges.

There is no way in any tonearm - not even in the Fidelity Research FR-60 tonearms - to adjust overhang, azimuth or off-set angle.

 

The AXIOM ends this sad negation of integrated cartridges like the classic 

Fidelity Research FR-7, Ortofon SPU, EMT-Tondosen and others.

 

Please note:  

In the AXIOM w/SME-bayonet it is possible -for the 1st time ever in audio tonearms!- to precisely align integrated headshell designs like the famed Ortofon SPU, EMT-Tondosen or Fidelity Research FR-7-series cartridges.

 

You think you know what sound these classic cartridges can produce?

 

Well, listen to them in the AXIOM - you may well be in for a big and positive surprise. 

 

IMPORTANT notice for owners of Micro Seiki RX/SX-turntables
