Connected-Fidelity CF-1010 Tone Arm
CONNECTED-FIDELITY CF-1010 TONE ARM LAUNCHED
British HiFi brand Connected-Fidelity has introduced the new Connected-Fidelity CF-1010 tone arm, a UK-manufactured 9-inch design featuring a curved titanium arm tube and an integral head-shell.
The Connected-Fidelity CF-1010 Tone Arm has been engineered for stable playback with minimal mechanical interference.
CONNECTED-FIDELITY CF-1010 TONE ARM
The Connected-Fidelity CF-1010 tone arm uses a titanium arm tube selected for rigidity and durability. Its integrated head-shell incorporates a resonance-absorbing element designed to reduce unwanted vibration as the cartridge tracks the record.
Connected-Fidelity has adopted a Linn-type mounting arrangement for the CF-1010. The tone arm uses three fixings plus a centre pillar hole, making it suitable for turntables that share this configuration.
BEARING SYSTEM IN THE CONNECTED-FIDELITY CF-1010 TONE ARM
The arm is built around pre-loaded single-point bearings intended to minimise friction. Connected-Fidelity notes that the bearings operate with negligible mechanical resistance. The internal wiring is extremely fine to reduce electrical resistance, while anti-skate is applied using a hanging-weight system to provide consistent bias.
Each Connected-Fidelity CF-1010 tone arm includes full installation hardware, a 2.0-metre RCA tone arm cable, a digital down-force scale for precise tracking-force adjustment, and a fine fibre brush for vinyl and stylus care.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Optional counterweights and head-shell weight sets are available. The standard counterweight will suit most cartridges, and Connected-Fidelity is offering guidance for users seeking particular cartridge/arm resonance characteristics.
CONNECTED-FIDELITY CF-1010 TONE ARM PACKAGE OPTIONS AND PRICING
The Connected-Fidelity CF-1010 tone arm carries a UK RRP of £3,499. It will also be sold as part of a Connected-Fidelity package combining the TT Hub turntable with the CF-1010, with optional Hana cartridge configurations.
HiFi PiG Says: Connected-Fidelity is a British HiFi brand gaining a strong reputation around the world.
