manual tonearm

An important part of a vinyl record player, the tonearm holds the cartridge on one end and keeps it at the right "azimuth" which is the left to right tilt the stylus must be adjusted to in order to track the vinyl record grooves. Cartridge cables run through the inside of the tone arm to transmit music to the preamp. On the opposite end of the tonearm is a counter weight which helps determine the correct vertical tracking force (VTF) the stylus manufacturer recommends.
