Features
- New armtube made from high grade aircraft alloy
- New headshell decoupled and rigidly attached to the armtube
- Rear Stub and counterweight design is the same as the highly acclaimed
Origin live Rega structural modification.
- The horizontal bearings have been upgraded to a higher ABEC specification.
In addition to this they have also been positioned outside the arm
tube and spaced more widely apart. This has the effect of reducing
resonance within the arm tube and increasing torsional stability.
- Medium effective mass to match the requirements of modern moving
coil and moving magnet cartridges
- Internal wiring of high grade Litz wire
- Headshell wires of robust PTFE insulated silver plated strands
with gold plated copper beryllium cartridge tags
- External wire interconnect is a best choice from hundreds of cables
tested.
- Phono connectors are high grade high conductivity aluminium phono
plugs, which are over twice as conductive as brass phono connectors
which results in a very audible improvement in the sound.
- The arm can be directly substituted for any Rega arm as the base
dimensions are identical to the RB250 and RB300.
- Infinitely adjustable VTA adjuster to suit all decks is included.

Owner Comments
"I have fitted my new (Silver) tonearm
and can now see why you were so excited about it. It gives a very
clear focus to my music, the stereo effect is superb and the response
is incredible. All the instruments in each piece I played have a
new vibrancy about them. To say that I am very pleased with it would
be an understatement. It was also extremely easy to fit and set
up. It has only after such a short time given a new meaning to vinyl
listening for me. Thank you for your advice."

"Two years ago I bought a Gyro SE with
a Rega 600 arm and Ortofon Rhoman cartridge. This again, was a huge
step up (from my Linn Axis). Recently I have purchased your Silver
arm. I put it on my Gyro with the Ortofon cartridge and was completely
blown away. I was amazed at how much better vinyl playback could
still get. Every aspect of the music was improved with no compromise.
Over the years I have made many improvements (some very costly)
to my system, but this arm is by far the biggest improvement I have
ever made."

"Last Friday Les from Walrus systems
fitted a Silver Taper tonearm to Nottingham analogue Hyperspace.
I just wanted you to know that Les did a superb job in fitting the
arm and the difference it makes is unbelieveable!. It now sounds
like I have upgraded every part of the system ( except the poor
old CD player which feels very left out). Speakers now seem to disappear
every time the needle hits the groove. Thank you for the best value
product in audio today and my advice is to ditch that cd and buy
a Silver Taper and get a true professional like Les to fit it"
