TA7000NEO SILVER 9"

Acoustic Signature TA7000NEO tonearm in silver finish — 9-inch effective length. The TA-7000 NEO introduces a 3D-damped conical carbon armtube — a more rigid geometry than cylindrical designs — paired with space-grade pre-tensioned ball bearings and 4N silver internal wiring. Available in 9" and 12" configurations, it was reviewed by Stereophile in Spin Doctor #13 alongside the Verona NEO and TA-5000 NEO, where its combination of low effective mass (10.2 g at 9") and high rigidity was highlighted as ideal for a wide range of moving-coil cartridges. The arm ships with an Atlas Equator phono cable and is available in four finish options.

Technical background

The TA7000NEO uses a 3D-damped conical carbon armtube — a super-rigid structure with internal 3D-printed damping inserts that reduce armtube resonance. Pre-tensioned space-grade ball bearings and 4N silver internal wiring. Effective mass of 10.2g (9 inch) suits MC and MM cartridges across a wide compliance range.

Design story

The TA7000NEO was designed as the accessible high-performance member of the AS tonearm range — bringing conical carbon armtube technology and space-grade bearings to a broader market. Its Stereophile recognition reflects its standing as a competitive product in the mid-high tonearm category.

Awards & press

"The TA7000NEO is an exceptional tonearm for its price — the conical carbon armtube and space-grade bearings provide a level of tracking stability that is immediately audible." — Stereophile "A tonearm that competes with products at twice its price — the TA7000NEO is one of Acoustic Signature's strongest value propositions." — Hi-Fi News
