SORANE / ABIS SA-1.2 TONEARM TONE ARM MINT CONDITION COMPLETE IN ORIGINAL BOX !!

Description

Dear eBay friends, I'm a Senior Acoustic Engineer and used to work in many Audio Companies in Europe and Asia where I  bought superb analogue components, such turntables as Technics SP-10MKII, Exclusive P3 and P10, Trio-Kenwood L-07D and related analogue components among others!
This listing is for the outstanding SORANE SA-1.2 Tonearm in SILVER color, in MINT condition, complete with all accessories, in its original box. The original Sorane headshell that came with this tonearm has NO marks nor scratches and is in MINT condition. This tonearm is the SILVER WIRED edition, much better than the normal OFC 4N Copper wired. I bought this fantastic tonearm during one of my trips to Europe, in brand new condition and used it one time only with the extraordinary Exclusive EM-10 motor (you can see this set in the last image that show the turntable with the phenomenal ZYX turntable mat, the SORANE listed here, with the IKEDA IS-2/T high rigidity headshell instead of the original high quality headshell supplied with Sorane tonearm in this listing .
This high-mass tonearm is made by IT Industries in Japan (the SAME Company that produces ALL Ikeda tonearms and Cartridges) and is of
VERY HIGH quality
.
The sound of the Sorane SA-1.2 tonearm is quite unique, due to its ridged design and construction, the main arm component is engineered from one billet of aluminum and assembled with great precision and care. There is virtually none of the resonance associated with S-shaped arms and far more strength plus lower 'critical' resonances than virtually all straight arms.
The weakness of low mass tonearms is that they make poor matches for medium and low compliance cartridges. The Sorane SA-1.2 gives you precise radial-bearing performance and very low resonance, while providing the necessary mass for medium and low compliance cartridges.
A major influence in the performance of the SA-1.2 is the use of very high quality bearings. The bearings used for horizontal movement are axial-loaded (angular-contact) thrust-bearings. These thrust bearings have zero play and are held in contact by gravity - think of them as acting like a unipivot but with more than one contact point. Because of their design with two tapered seats, they self-align in the presence of a load (gravity) and have exceedingly low friction.
In contrast to classic tonearms from the past (which suffered from resonance and lower quality bearings), the SA-1.2 provides the ideal mass for classic cartridges like the Denon DL103 or Ortofon SPU (also, mono cartridges like the DL102, or even antique cartridges like the GE VR and Fairchild) along with most moving coil cartridges.
The Sorane SA-1.2 arm has very low tracking error, thanks to  superior sonic signature of the billet aluminum arm parts, and the mass equivalent to most 12″ arms, it offers a 12″ arm sound in a compact 10" arm length. A protractor is supplied to ensure the manufacturers optimum geometry but can be altered (simply) if required.  It is ideally suited for low to medium compliance cartridges, especially good at controlling problematic cartridges when it comes to miss-tracking, such as the older 'classic' designs.
You can use this superb component in virtually any hi-end turntable. This list is for the SORANE SA-1.2 tonearm complete set ONLY. The rest of components showed in the last image is NOT offered in this listing.
