Together with the Ortofon OM10, which fits this design principle perfectly, we get extraordinary fast response and detail in terms of transients and microdynamics. Tracking force and anti-skating are factory pre-adjusted which make the A1 plug \u0026amp; play ready within a few seconds. This makes it perfect for vinyl beginners and experienced listeners alike as the sound quality is carried by all the audiophile features the A1 has on offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudiophile Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrtofon OM10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDetailed Response \u0026amp; Microdynamics\u003cbr\u003e\nA little-known fact is that the OM series of cartridges have their developmental roots and legacy in ultra-light-mass tonearm designs.

The composite material results in excellent internal damping of resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWood Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHeavy and avoids hollow spaces\u003cbr\u003e\nThe chassis avoids hollow spaces wherever possible, with just enough space to precision fit all the inner workings of the A1. As a result, the chassis’ heavy mass reduces unwanted resonances to a minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDamped Platter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrecision balanced aluminium\u003cbr\u003e\nThe damping ring on the inside adds weight and reduces resonances.
