Overview

The WOW XL is the flagship model in the German-engineered WOW-Series of precision turntables, combining exceptional craftsmanship with timeless design. Its striking aesthetic features stainless steel buttons arranged on a 10 mm solid aluminum top plate, seamlessly bonded to a 25 mm high-gloss wooden plinth, exuding sophistication and durability. At its core is a meticulously crafted 6.5 kg aluminum platter, machined from a single piece of soft aluminum to minimize resonance. The underside is coated with a high-damping material, ensuring optimal acoustic performance by reducing vibrations and enhancing sound quality.

The WOW XL delivers a remarkable listening experience, thanks in part to its Tidorfolon bearing—a signature innovation by ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE. This precision bearing is designed for exact fit, ultra-low noise, minimal friction, and long-term stability, forming the foundation of its smooth, stable performance. Paired with an advanced motor system that offers impeccable rotational stability and reliability, the WOW XL ensures precision playback for your vinyl records.

Versatility is another highlight of the WOW XL, as its interchangeable arm boards allow compatibility with nearly any 9-inch tonearm, making it a highly adaptable choice for audiophiles. With its superior engineering and elegant design, the WOW XL delivers exceptional sound quality and a seamless user experience, setting a new standard for turntable performance.

The TA-1000 tonearm combines precision engineering and innovative design to deliver exceptional performance. Using SKF miniature bearings, meticulously adjusted with minimal pre-pressure, the TA-1000 achieves near-zero backlash, ensuring minimal friction and maximum stability. Its dual carbon tube design combines maximum stiffness with low resonance, thanks to internally damped materials and strategically connected elements, resulting in a highly rigid and resonance-controlled arm tube.

Equipped with Mogami internal wiring and a 5-pin connector, the TA-1000 also offers precise azimuth adjustment, allowing users to fine-tune the stylus alignment for optimal cartridge performance. With a simple mechanism involving three screws, the arm tube can swivel ±5 degrees for perfect alignment, locking securely into place for reliable playback. The TA-1000 is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, ideal for audiophiles seeking precise tonearm control and superior sound quality.
