Opera Consonance super Tonearm ST600

This 'super arm' might be discontinued in foreseeable future due to high design fees built in the pricing. However, even at the current price, you can hardly find any tonearm with such a quality at sub $2000 price range. Don't miss the opportunity to own this tonearm before it's gone for good.


The ST-600 is Opera's flagship tonearm. Again a beautiful and functional design that comes with all the features of a true audiophile grade tonearm at a price that rivals tonearms at multitudes of the price. The quality is appearant at every stage, the concept is designed to last forever, everywhere you look is another excellent feature. The sound quality of the ST-600 will make you wonder why other's spend so much more. The build quality is the finest watch grade.

-Adjustable VTA on the fly is too much fun, very addicting to dial in any album in seconds

-Adjustable Arm length. 10.5 and 12". Who says it has to be only at one or the other lengths, put it in between if you want !

-Oil filled dampening, use any viscosity silicone oil for dampening, I like using vegetable oil. Try various to see how it reacts with your cartridge.

Like I've said to many. One hour to set up or you can play with it for the rest of your life Tweekers heaven.

Cheers,

Edit; I take back what I said about the reviews. However, it is still well out of reach for me at this point.
