TA2000NEO SILVER 9"

Acoustic Signature TA2000NEO tonearm in silver finish — 9-inch effective length. The TA-2000 NEO brings dual-layer carbon armtube construction and SKF precision bearings to the more accessible price tier of the AS tonearm range. Mogami copper internal wiring — chosen for its studio-proven signal integrity — connects the cartridge to a 5-pin DIN output. Available in both Rega-style and SME-style mounting as standard, the TA-2000 NEO is compatible with a wider range of turntable plinths than most of its competitors. It is available in four finish options and ships with an AudioQuest phono cable. Reviewed by The Absolute Sound paired with the Tornado NEO.

Technical background

The TA2000NEO uses a dual-layer carbon armtube with SKF precision bearings and Mogami copper internal wiring. Available in both Rega-style (three-point) and SME-style (five-point) mounting for compatibility with the broadest range of turntables. This is the most versatile tonearm in the AS range in terms of turntable compatibility.

Design story

The TA2000NEO was designed for maximum compatibility — the dual mounting options (Rega and SME) allow it to be fitted to almost any turntable. Its Absolute Sound review pairing with the Tornado NEO confirms its natural system match within the AS ecosystem.
