The Acoustic Signature TA-10000 NEO is a flagship tonearm designed around ultra-precise, custom-made bearings treated with Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC). Acoustic Signature states that these bearings reduce friction by more than 50% compared with other high-end bearings, while also contributing to vibration absorption and precise tonearm movement.
The tonearm features an extensively damped multi-structure aluminum armtube and a new NEO stainless-steel tonearm axis designed to improve rigidity and smooth operation. It is available in both 9-inch and 12-inch versions and uses pre-tensioned, high-precision DLC-coated ball bearings for accurate tracking.
Internal signal transmission is handled by high-purity 4N silver wiring, with an external Atlas Equator 5-pin phono cable supplied in either RCA or XLR configuration. The TA-10000 NEO also provides on-the-fly VTA adjustment, adjustable azimuth through a gearbox positioned directly behind the headshell, and tension-based anti-skating adjustment.
