Additional Info

The Signet TK-10ml is a precise, airy performer. Its boron cantilever and MicroLine polish trace fine groove detail with tight, well-defined bass and a natural, unforced vocal presence, while separate-channel Twin-Flux generation gives a clean, wide stereo image. Jazz, acoustic and classical on revealing systems suit it best. The stylus is replaceable, though the deep-reaching MicroLine profile demands scrupulously clean records.
