This is a Clearaudio Satisfy tonearm is in very good condition - it functions flawlessly. There are a few minor nicks from mounting/handling, but overall it's in great cosmetic condition.
I'm the second owner. This is the Fixed Wire Aluminum Arm Tube variant of the Satisfy arm. All mounting hardware is included to install on any table. It has the black anodized Aluminum wand and an integrated interconnect that is continuous from headshell to phono stage. For those not familiar with it - the geometry is the same as the Rega RB arms. It also includes the 3 point mounting collar with 2 set screw VTA adjustment clamps.
I do not have the original packaging but will fabricate a shipping container that will secure the arm for extreme transit conditions. The manual is available on line - I may have a re-print I can ship with the arm but can't promise this.============================================================ Here's some marketing information I found on the internet:
The Satisfy tonearm is a newly-designed Clearaudio construction with extremely high structural rigidity combined with ultra low friction movement.
This two-axis tonearm is handcrafted to the highest precision. The horizontal bearing uses a shaft made out of wolfram, their polished ends are running in sapphire watch bearings. The vertical tonearm bearing uses extremely precise and long life ceramic bearings.
The headshell of the Satisfy tonearm is constructed flexible and allows a very accurate adjustment of any cartridge type. The fine signal is lead directly through the Clearaudio OFC Superwire.
Features:
High quality handmade Swiss vertical and lateral bearings
Pure polished sapphire bearing materials
Direct wired with Clearaudio Direct Wire for unbroken signal path from the cartridge pins through the arm tube to the phono-preamplifier.
Optionally fitted with high quality Clearaudio RCA connectors
Choice of four different arm-materials: aluminum, carbon fibre, ebony and satiné wood
Elegant, innovative magnetic anti-skating control ============================================================= The Sale:
The arm will be securely packaged with extreme care to withstand worst transit abuse.
