{"product_id":"clearaudio-statement-tt1-mi-tonarm-holz-silber","title":"Clearaudio Statement TT1 MI Tangential-Tonarm, Wood\/Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Clearaudio Statement TT1 MI is a patented Tangential-Tonarm for the Innovation and Master Innovation turntables – here with natural Panzerholz and silver aluminum parts, the lightest-toned of the four finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea behind it is old and rarely implemented cleanly: a record is cut in a straight line, so it should also be tracked in a straight line. Clearaudio does this without an air bearing and without a motor – purely with precision mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Statement TT1 MI?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the arm takes on the advantages of tangential tracking without buying into its classic disadvantages. Instead of a pump, dry-running ball bearings guide the carriage through a calibrated, polished glass tube; the drive remains purely mechanical and passive. The chassis combines Panzerholz, aluminum, stainless steel and glass, and a magnetic system holds the arm in the playback position. The combination of light natural wood and silver aluminum looks noticeably lighter than 8.2 kilograms of precision mechanics would suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInner grooves that don't annoy. Exactly where pivoted tonearms are geometrically furthest off, the TT1 MI stays right on angle – voices stay clear, brass stays round. Plus a very quiet background, because during operation simply nothing runs that could make noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Statement TT1 MI for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of an Innovation or Master Innovation who set up their system light and homely, yet still want uncompromising tracking. Cartridges from 5.5 to 15.0 grams are adjustable. Plain talk: this arm is an endpoint, not an intermediate step. Anyone planning to change their turntable in two years anyway is better off investing there first – we'll tell you openly if that's the more sensible route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically identical to the other finishes, visually the most understated: wood and silver make the TT1 MI look more like an instrument than a device. The real achievement remains the mechanics behind it – tangential, passive, low-maintenance. Which turntable you have underneath and which cartridge should go on top, we'll discuss calmly at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e patented Tangential-Tonarm (linear tracking)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign principle:\u003c\/strong\u003e purely mechanical, passive drive via dry-running ball bearings in a calibrated, polished glass tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearings:\u003c\/strong\u003e ball bearings in the glass tube – no air bearing, no compressor, no motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panzerholz, aluminum, stainless steel, glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panzerholz natural, aluminum parts silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable cartridges:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 g – 15.0 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable turntables:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clearaudio Innovation and Master Innovation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArmboard mounting hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal cable:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 m Super Sixstream, terminated in RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 540 × 195 × 210 mm (width incl. lift)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 8.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer's warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much space does the TT1 MI need next to the turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan for around 540 millimeters of width including lift, about 210 millimeters of depth and 195 millimeters of height. So the arm isn't an add-on part but its own unit next to the turntable. It's best to plan the footprint on your rack in advance – we'll go through the dimensions with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mount the TT1 MI myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe advise against it. Setup, alignment to the platter and fine adjustment require experience, time and measuring tools; a Tangential-Tonarm mounted crooked instantly cancels out its geometric advantage again. Mauri sets up and aligns the arm for you, so you end up getting exactly what you paid for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the TT1 MI need a special phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, what matters is the cartridge, not the arm. The TT1 MI comes wired from the factory with two meters of Super Sixstream and RCA connectors, passing the signal unchanged to your phono stage. Gain and loading depend on the cartridge – we're happy to help you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs wood\/silver technically different from the dark finishes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, purely visually. Clearaudio lists the same data for all finishes: identical design principle, identical materials, identical adjustment range, identical dimensions and identical weight. You choose between Panzerholz natural and black, and aluminum in silver or black – sonically there's nothing between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Statement TT1 MI from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we look at turntable, arm and cartridge as a whole instead of three order line items.
