The WAND Tonearm installation: Upgrading the WAND 10.3inch Tonearm (with wiring upgrade) in the Technics SL-1000RE-S Turntable System - Impressive results!
This April we tested the WAND 10.3-inch Tonearm (with upgraded wiring) in Technics' most precious Turntable System, the SL-1000RE-S. We are proud to certify that DesignBuildListen's unipivot carbon-fiber tonearm, the WAND 10.3-inch Tonearm designed by Simon Brown, is a truly remarkable upgrading solution even for the most exquisite, direct drive turntable systems, such as the Technics SL-1000RE-S Turntable System.
Please see photos to follow the necessary installation steps. Instructions will soon be posted.
The WAND Tonearm could do wonders for your system to!
The Wand weighs ~500g (~1lb) this is similar to SME 3009 and a little heavier than Rega arms (420g). So it should be within the adjustment range of most turntables.The full mounting kit is already available for Linn LP12, Technics SL1200 & SL1500, Technics SL1200 GR, Lenco L75, Thorens TD318, Thorens TD160/150 and Michell Turntables.
The customer was happy saying "In my opinion, this exquisite turntable should not be playing with its (standard) arm. The result with the WAND arm is significantly better. Thanks to my friend's Fanis Lagkadinos' mounting tech expertise, I changed the arm and I am very happy with my WAND choice.
