SAEC WE-709 Tonearm
The WE-709 is SAEC’s new generation of double knife-edge bearing tonearms, designed for modern analog playback environments. The newly developed knife-edge mechanism achieves even higher sensitivity and rigidity by increasing the diameter of the knife and revising the structure of the blade holder. The antiskating mechanism employs new design vibration countermeasures. The WE-709 achieves accurate and stable tracking, faithfully transmitting delicate electrical signals transcribed from your vinyl.
