ViV Lab Rigid Float HA 13

About the ViV Lab Rigid Float HA 13

The ViV Lab Rigid Float HA 13 is a high-end tonearm designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional clarity and low distortion. It features ViV Laboratory’s original 'Oil Floated Pivot' technology, which provides perfect bearing performance and insulates the arm pipe from vibrations transmitted through the turntable or floor. The tonearm uses a completely straight (zero-offset) structure, eliminating side force fluctuations and the need for anti-skate mechanisms. This design results in a sound characterized by high purity, dynamics, sharp focus, and very low distortion. The HA 13 model is the longest in the series, offering a 13-inch effective length for reduced tracking error and compatibility with a wide range of cartridges. Installation is simple, as the tonearm can be placed anywhere on the turntable plinth without drilling or heavy lifting. The internal wiring consists of silk-covered 4N pure silver lines with cryogenic treatment, ensuring extremely low internal resistance and excellent signal transmission. The tonearm is available in black metallic or black gold finishes and includes the proprietary 'Nelson Hold' headshell.
