Munich 2025

Presenting another piece of cool gear seen at High End Munich 2025 before we begin sharing all the deep-dive show reports from our fellow editors who were at the big show — namely, the Wilson Benesch Graviton Ti tonearm, which “evolved” (their word) from the version of the arm originally integrated into their flagship GMT One System turntable.

The Graviton Ti tonearm is set to become available as a standalone product, developed specifically for compatibility with the Dohmann Helix One Mk3 turntable (seen above). In fact, the Graviton Ti arm was part of a live demonstration of said Dohmann Helix One Mk3 turntable demo during Munich 2025, as part of the joint Wilson Benesch/Dohmann Audio exhibit at the show in Hall 4, F-001.

The Graviton Ti arm boasts a molded carbon-fiber armtube that’s strengthened with a graphene epoxy matrix. This composite structure combines uni-directional carbon fiber with a Rohacell core and quadruple helix layering, which is said to offer “superior” stiffness and damping. Further, these properties are said to be essential for precise playback, allowing the stylus to trace the record groove with minimal interference or coloration.

The Graviton Ti builds on decades of Wilson Benesch’s pioneering work in composite tonearm design, tracing its origins to the A.C.T. One tonearm that launched way back in 1989. Its core principles — such as hyperbolic tube geometry, monolithic construction, and optimized fiber orientation — remain central to the Graviton Ti’s performance. (Those design elements have been validated by academic partners through research programs including the EU-backed SSUCHY Project.)

In collaboration with researchers from the University of Sheffield and the FEMTO Institute, Wilson Benesch has employed Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) to produce titanium parts for the Graviton Ti. The process enables the creation of internal lattice structures modeled on natural geometries. These are said to deliver excellent strength-to-weight ratios, damping properties, and a precisely optimized center of gravity — elements all vital for minimizing vibrational energy and improving tracking accuracy.

The Graviton Ti also incorporates Wilson Benesch’s STAGE One design that was originally developed for the aforementioned GMT One System, and it allows the tonearm cable to be terminated close to the pivot point in a copper-shielded housing. This proximity is said to help protect the signal path from radio frequency interference while maintaining mechanical isolation by removing strain on the wire — a critical improvement for performance at the stylus level.

Finally, The Graviton Ti tonearm is available for order now, with its first shipments expected from Q4 2025. The SRP is $45,000 / £30,000 / €39,500 for the standard Matt Titanium finish. Optional finish upgrades are available at an additional cost.
