The Reed 5T is a pivoted tonearm with a unique design that enables it to track tangentially. During record playback, a laser emitter and a laser sensor are used to track the tonearm’s lateral motion. That information is used to adjust, on the fly, the position of the tonearm’s lateral pivot: a correction applied in real time by means of a small, battery-powered motor in the arm-mount assembly.

This innovative technological masterpiece from Reed comes with the original box and certificate of authencity. Newprice: 15.999 euro (pricelist is available), now in “as new” condition available for 8.750 euro.
