Audiomods Tonearm.....
Inquiring about the Audiomods tonearm last week and here is the response from Jeff. This sounds exciting!!!
I have very limited availability of the Series Five arms now because I am working on the next version, which should be ready this Spring. Though it will use lot of the Series five elements, it will be a major departure based around a carbon fibre/aluminium composite arm tube and should include azimuth adjustment and be available as 9 and 10.5" version.There will be an upgrade path from the Series Five arms.I don't have any pictures or more details because I've commissioned arm tube parts that won't be with me until March.

There's a couple of threads that've been started elsewhere but this one includes a couple of posts and pics from people who have already received theirs. Mine should be shipped soon. Cheers https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?63642-Audiomods-Series-6-Tonearm/ |
I've received and mounted the Series 6 arm on my Rega Planar 25. Short story is that it's providing alot more clean and detailed information than the Rega RB250 w/ tecnoweight & Riggles VTAF I was using before. Loud passages that could sound a little hard or distorted before aren't any longer. Music that has a lot of subtle detail such as the cymbals on Take Five are just so nicely detailed it's like all of a sudden you've upgraded your record collection to audiophile pressings. It's a cliche' but it's like relearning your collection all over again. Installation was simple however I had to add a small plastic furniture dot (like a felt pad dot only soft plastic) under each corner of the plinth where theTT lid touches as the vta knob was slightly too high for the lid to lower fully. Cartridge is a laughingly easy to mount. My only beef is the finger lift needs a re-design I think. It's a little awkward. |
Waiting on my Series 6 to cross the pond to the States. Extra delays from the current situation. Ug. this is grueling haha. My new table and cartridge are sitting in front of my rig laughing at me daily. But on a serious note, Jeff said he upgraded the internal wiring in recent batches. He described the difference as "not subtle". |

@chipdelacalzada , @bigslacker , @jensmunk - how are you liking the Audiomods Series 6 arms ? Thanks - Steve |
@williewonka I absolutely love mine. I don't think I've heard another tonearm that provides the level of performance that the Audiomods 6 does in its price range. If you look at what you're getting: carbon fiber wand, VTA on the fly, silver litz wire loom... these are things that are only seen in much more expensive tonearms. IMO, I don't think it can be beaten at its price... |
