Connected Fidelity CF-1010 TONE ARM

Introducing the CF-1010 tone-arm

CF-1010 TONE ARM

In stock and available to order now.

The CF-1010 tone-arm is manufactured from a one-piece titanium tube, with an integral tone-arm/headshell design. The tube has a very particular curved shape to best control resonant behaviour, optimising stiffness, and pushing the first resonant mode up as high as possible.

The very stiff composite head-shell design puts the (damped) fundamental frequency of the head-shell at 14,000 Hz, and the composite material used, absorbs 80-90% of unwanted vibrational energy from the cartridge body - ensuring a ‘clean’ sound quality.

The CF-1010 bearing design offers both very accurate alignment, concentricity, and life-long reliable zero ‘jitter’. This critical pre-loading for zero microns tolerance allows the cartridge to pick up the very smallest details from the vinyl groove, without distortion.

The CF-1010 comes complete with accurate set up tools, a good quality tone-arm cable, a digital cartridge downforce gauge, and carbon-fibre LP brush, to aid both quick and easy set up, and use.

Your specific cartridge optimisation service

The CF-1010 tone-arm ensures a high quality sound from the widest range of MM, MC and MI type cartridge designs.

New CF-1010 owners are however offered a cartridge specific optimisation service, to enable you get the very best sound possible, from your specific cartridge. Our calculating software allows you to select (or us to suggest) the optimum resonant frequency for best tracking and bass quality, with the use of head-shell weights, if required.
