AXPONA 2014

Switzerland-based Thales recently introduced "Easy", a new moderately-priced tangential pivoting tone arm, that importer AAudio Imports introduced at AXPONA. The new arm costing $5800 has an effective length of 220mm and can handle cartridges weighing between 5g and 20g.

The pillar incorporates a 5 pin DIN connector, making mounting, as the name says, easy.

Though bearings have been redesigned and the importer says the issues I encountered with the Thales Simplicity arm reviewed in Stereophile last year have been eliminated.

We hope to get a review sample later this year.
