The Tabriz tone arm delivers the type of performance only expected from highly expensive arms. As with the Artemiz arm, the entire headshell and arm tube are machined from a single piece of solid aluminium alloy. The offset bearing geometry is similar to that of the Artemiz with 2 vertical and 2 lateral low friction low noise ball races. The tone arm pillar in arm mounting base plate is locked into position with a socket cap screw to allow easy adjustment of the Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA). The Tabriz is upgradeable to the Tabriz zi specification which uses the Roksan Intelligent Counterweight, Artemiz fixing clamp and washer and Roksan's High Definition tonearm cable. Used with any Roksan turntable, the arm is self effacing merely providing a blank background into which sounds materialise.
