Classic MKII
The return of a classic. Its predecessor sold hundreds of units and enjoys almost cult status. Due to popular demand, the Classic is now being reissued as a revised MK II version.
The changes to the MK I focus on the complete redesign of the tonearm base. Featuring a high-gloss nickel finish, improved lift, a redesigned anti-skating mechanism, and a two-level adjustable lift support, operating comfort and reliability have been significantly improved.
The single-point bearing principle and proven features, such as the one-piece tonearm made of laser-cut aluminum sheet bent into a U-profile, powder-coated in black or red upon request, as well as the nitrided and polished single-point bearing for minimal friction, remained untouched. Height adjustment, lateral balance, and anti-skating are mandatory components of this tonearm. Of course, the excellent sound and the virtually unbeatable price-performance ratio have also remained.
The Classic MK II is available in two versions: a 10-inch and a 12-inch. The 12-inch tonearm version still harmonizes perfectly with the Denon DL-103. A real insider tip!
A dream team, if you want to hear my opinion, and one blessed with a price-performance ratio that can be described as incredibly good without a guilty conscience.
