The Zephyr is a considerable advance on the Silver arm. A stiffer arm tube and higher-grade materials in the yoke and arm base improve the definition and impact of notes, particularly in the bass which is tighter, lower and weightier than the silver. However, all aspects of the music are improved by a more sophisticated costly approach to each component.

Materials Throughout the Arm are upgraded from the Silver with superior and more costly to machine alloys.

Arm Tube made from high-grade aircraft alloy to reduce the effect of resonance. This has the enormous advantage of allowing your cartridge to function correctly without unwanted movements caused by resonance.

A High Strength Rear-stub improves counterweight stability in vibration – thus enabling the arm tube to hold the cartridge more steadily. The result is an increase in dynamics and a sense of power and control in the bass.

Superior Yoke Design encompassing higher grade material and precision tolerancing for the fit of bearings. This results in an incredibly transparent arm with superb tonal balance. Finally, the yoke is mirror polished and finished in chrome.

Bearings are highly researched and purpose made to meet our specifications. These bearings are used in both the horizontal and vertical axis.

Integral VTA Adjuster consisting of a threaded top nut above arm-board and clamping nut underneath arm-board.

Falling Weight Side Bias tests show this to be the highest performing method of achieving side bias. It has lower friction, better constant force and lower resonance than other alternatives such as magnets, springs, levers and twisted threads.

Internal Wiring is high-grade copper Litz wire, Cryogenically frozen to reduce discontinuities in the conductors. This allows great transparency, detail and freedom from artefacts.

1 Meter Upgrade External Cable (6mm diameter) Low resistance cable with high conductivity Gold plated RCA plugs to fit directly into your phono-stage or amplifier.

Easy to fit - The threaded base mounting makes the arm easy to fit to any arm board designed for Rega arms as it is a drop in replacement for ALL versions of Rega arm whether threaded base or 3 point mounting.
