About the TT5
The Clearaudio TT5 is a tangential tonearm that moves linearly with the record groove, eliminating lateral tracking error and requiring no anti-skating adjustment. It features a carriage on precision rollers inside a polished glass tube, driven mechanically by the stylus. Designed as an affordable entry into tangential technology, it offers resonance-optimized chassis, adjustable tracking force and azimuth, and optional swing base for easier record changing. Known for clean, neutral sound with clarity and accuracy.
