The Integrity HiFi True Glide Tonearm is a unique pendulum floating stand-alone tonearm designed to eliminate friction and bearing issues common in traditional tonearms. It features a straight zero offset arm suspended by a single fine polyethylene Dacron monofilament, allowing it to be virtually weightless and friction-free. The tonearm requires no bearings, no unipivot, no azimuth adjustment, and no anti-skate, simplifying setup and improving sound clarity. It includes a Nasotec Swing headshell that swivels to maintain zero tracking angle error, a special Tru-Lift cueing device, and terminated direct Cardas wiring for optimal signal transmission. The arm is made from high-quality black aluminum with a solid stainless steel casing and base, and it is customized in length (9" to 17") and height to fit the customer's turntable. The tonearm is transportable between tables without drilling holes or mounting plates, and it comes with easy-to-follow video instructions and live support. It is handmade in Canada and tested for 4 hours before shipping to ensure performance. The True Glide is praised for its crystal clear sound dynamics, versatility, and ease of use, making it one of the best tonearms available for audiophiles seeking a frictionless, high-fidelity experience.
