Pioneer PA-100

Commentary

A universal tone arm designed to always show the performance of the cartridge.

Equipped with an inside four scan cellar that uses magnetic repulsion.
Unlike the spool and lever mechanisms, this system has no friction resistance or temperature change of the mechanism itself, so a constant force can be obtained at all times, and excellent disc playback is possible at any position on the disc.
Since the cancellation amount can be increased or decreased during the performance of the record, it is possible to adjust the bias while listening.

It is equipped with a helicoidal height adjustment mechanism that can change the height of the tone arm so that it can be combined with all types of phono motors and cartridges.

Equipped with an arm lifter that uses high viscosity silicon oil that does not worry about oil leakage or performance degradation due to temperature.

The tone arm uses a static balance system.
In addition, it is designed to be perfectly balanced from approximately 11g to 33g with 2 kinds of weight of light weight and heavy weight attached.

By the design in which the needle tip, rotating shaft and weight shaft are placed in a straight line, once lateral balance is achieved, the balance will not be lost even if the needle pressure is changed with the main weight.

The attached lightweight shell has a mark to accurately position the needle tip of the cartridge.
In addition, the horizontal degree of the shell can be changed by ± 2 degrees.
