The Audioquest PT6 tonearm is a medium mass tonearm manufactured in Japan, featuring adjustable height, tracking force, and anti-skate to allow optimum performance from a very wide range of cartridges. It incorporates a damped tube design with an oil reservoir at the bearing pivot for smooth operation. The PT6 is closely related to the Jelco SA-250ST tonearm, as Jelco manufactured all Audioquest PT6 arms, though the PT6 is now discontinued. It uses a Linn-type mounting pattern and is suitable for turntables requiring precise cartridge matching and adjustment.
