Precision Engineering and Hand Assembly
With over 130 redesigned components, the Reference tonearms are crafted with unparalleled mechanical precision and advanced engineering. Ortofon's skilled artisans meticulously hand assemble, adjust, and review every component of each tonearm, ensuring unmatched quality and performance.
This meticulous artisanship optimises every aspect of the tonearm, capturing the subtle nuances of your music like never before.
