Tonearm - high value

Silver Tonearm £599

"the Silver 250 is...the very best tonearm I've ever heard…awsomely tight bottom end...the midband - glass clear, incredibly liquid, fantastic image precision, walkaround soundstaging and incredible timbral realism...the treble is shockingly open and airy up top...the £599 price tag is laughably low...could probably charge 5 times this amount...words can’t express how good this is - one of the designs of the decade."

The Silver tonearm is one of the finest performing tonearms available but at a fraction of the cost of it’s rivals. The arm builds on the success of the highly acclaimed RB250 modifications. The most critical components of the tonearm have been upgraded using advanced alloys and innovative techniques to greatly improve performance. The result of these upgrades is an incredibly transparent arm with superb tonal balance. The sound produced is free from colouration allowing previously unheard low level information to be noticed clearly. The arm also exhibits a clean dynamic sound coupled with a tight and powerful bass.

The modified rega arm has often been listed among the world's "super arms" for performance and frequently mentioned alongside names like the Linn Ekos, Naim Aro, SME V etc - these arms all have certain strengths and excell over one another in different areas but none could really be said to have it all together. The Silver addresses this situation and posseses a superb blend of qualities. It is this blend that makes it a truly great all rounder and able to excell in all aspects of music. Rather than make claims that the design approach of the Silver is the correct one, we simply recommend that you listen and compare this arm with the very best available.
