HR-200S

The HR-200S Reference Tonearm is the next instalment of the highly successful Alphason HR range. Built on the foundation of the prestigious HR-100S tonearm, the HR-200S takes the original concept and the knowledge gained, furthering those ideas and improving upon them to create a truly outstanding tonearm. Each HR-200S is meticulously hand assembled, with a titanium one-piece head-shell and arm tube along with bespoke bearings, providing the perfect, neutral platform for any high-performance cartridge.

“The Alphason’s hallmark is a clarity so pure it is almost prescient.. each record was a revelation.. with awesome clarity and maintenance of proper phase relationships.. the ultimate performance is the best sound I have heard”

The tonearm is arguably the most important component of any analogue hi-fi system. Its strengths or weaknesses are typically amplified thousands of times over. That is why the HR-200S is a great investment. Why settle for less? We invite you to audition the HR-200S and try it for yourself with our free home trial. Get the most out of your system today!

“The Alphason is the reference because it extends the natural balance.. captures.. tonal richness and sets new standards in clarity and sound staging”

Precision Engineering

The one-piece headshell and arm tube are carefully designed to optimise frequency response and provide the highest standards of tonal neutrality. The titanium arm and composite construction significantly increase rigidity and are impervious to vibrational energy.
The bearings for the HR-200S are improved, over the HR-100S, Alphason Specialist Audio design and make our own bespoke bearings which have zero clearance, to give even lower levels of friction enabling higher pre-loads, higher rigidity, and the ultimate in clarity.
A single continuous wire, with negligible capacitance and inductance, runs from the cartridge to the external connector. Whilst the Alphason Specialist Audio Pin Jack provides a consistent and repeatable contact force on every insertion of the cartridge pin. This provides the highest possible signal integrity, preserving and delivering the remarkable performance of the HR-200S to the pre-amplifier.
