Reed 2B is a modern high-end tonearm from Reed, introduced at the Munich High End Show in 2023. It is designed around low-friction ceramic bearings and a two-handle anti-skating system that lets the user independently adjust anti-skating at the start and end of a record while playing. The tonearm comes fully assembled, making installation and setup simpler, and it supports replaceable armwands so effective length and effective mass can be changed by swapping the armwand. Standard configurations include a 9.5-inch Wenge armwand, Seashell White finish, and Finewire C37+Cryo wiring with KLEI plugs, with additional lengths, materials, finishes, wiring, and connector options available.
