This configuration creates a stable, vibration-free foundation for the tonearm and cartridge to operate on. The 8.6-inch aluminium tonearm, with its integrated headshell and low-friction bearings, is both lightweight and rigid—ensuring precise tracking of records and minimising unwanted vibrations. Together, these components offer a seamless and refined playback experience.

Hand-made in Europe and supplied with a high-grade RCA cable and elegant dustcover, the T1 EVO is a thoroughly refined turntable built for serious music lovers.
