Sorane Tonearms
Sorane tonearms (pronounced so-rah-nay) are hand-crafted at a small family-run factory based just outside Tokyo, Japan. Offering tonearms in three distinct models from the traditional design of the TA-1, to more exotic SA-1.2 and ZA-12, the Sorane brand offers incredibly high quality tonearms at a fair price. Sorane has become a popular choice for audiophiles looking to upgrade their existing tonearms, add a second tonearm to their setup, and for use with custom made or vintage idler-drive designs.
TA-1 and TA-1L
Sorane TA series tonearms sport a traditional S-shape armtube, and are available in 9″ (TA-1) or 12″ (TA-1L) versions. With a machine-tooled bearing housing of solid aluminum, finely tuned micro-bearings, fully adjustable anti-skate, azimuth, and a wide counterweight range, Sorane TA series arms offer high performance and a full range of adjustments in an elegant, understated design. All TA series arms include removable headshells and come standard with a DIN-RCA phono cable and 3-hole mounting collar.
