SAEC Again Producing Classic Double Knife-Edge Bearing Tone Arm
After a more than 30 year absence SAEC's double knife-edged bearing tone arm is once again in production and will be available through DS Exports, DS Audio's new export division. DS Audio, of course manufactures a line of "optical" cartridges and dedicated phono preamplifiers.
The new SAEC WE-4700 arm is constructed one at a time by skilled technicians. The double knife-edges are manufactured using state-of-the art machining technology with each edge then hand-finished. The press release did not specify effective length or any of the other key specs but those should be available soon. The price in America will be between $8500 and $9500.
