Tonearm for Technics SP-15

Look for Technics EPA-100 tonearm, It’s 10.5 inch tonearm, one of the best you can buy for your SP-15, they are often available on ebay (in perfect condition) from the Japanese sellers.

@elliottbnewcombjr you have to make sure about the bearings, loose bearings must be avoided.

@billwojo epa-100 can be found in perfect condition and you don’t need a pepair "guru" if you will buy a perfect sample. Broken samples must be avoided from the start.

"The EPA-100 tonearm represents several significant advances in tonearm technology. A variable dynamic damping system which permits the user to tune the arm for compatibility with virtually any cartridge now available. An extremely stable 4-point Gimbal suspension employing ruby ball bearings which maintain static friction at 5mg or less for movement in any direction. A titanium nitride shaft which is light and also resistant to flexing and resonances. These elements all contribute to one end, keeping the stylus in optimum contact with the record grooves. Although this many seem elementary, the ability of the EPA-100 to perform this function in a high grade sound system can make a noticeable difference in the clarity and openness of the resulting sound."

If your EPA-100 is nearly impossible to get to hold balance and moves around on air currents in a seemingly completely still room, then there’s an excellent chance it’s still in great shape. If not, it could be a lot better.

Yeah, I remember this, they are moving like crazy during cartridge set-up.

Can you comment on EPA-100 mkII @jpjones3318 ?

Professional 100PN version is quite interesting:

My idea was to mount EPA-100 mkII on Victor TT-101 sooner or later
