Designed by Helmut Thiele, its classic nine-inch J-shaped geometry rides a precision knife-edge (cutter) bearing, magnetically stabilized for maximum tracking accuracy with essentially frictionless vertical movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard SME bayonet connector means headshells and cartridges swap in seconds, making it as practical for the collector who rotates pickups as it is for the purist chasing one perfect setup.
