Summary

The Moth TA2 tonearm uses a custom one piece aluminium arm tube, carefully manufactured to optimise performance and reduce stress on the precision bearings. Each tonearm is meticulously hand assembled using custom tools and precision torque settings to guarantee optimum performance. This level of care ensures perfect tracking and maximises the amount of information that the cartridge can extract from the record groove.

Please Note: This item cannot be ordered online. If you are interested, please click on the 'Enquire' button above.

Based on VPI's known design of the Avenger Tripod Chassis, the Avenger Direct takes their Direct Drive technology and marries it with the Avenger Series. The Avenger design has always been known as a "sandbox" type of design giving the owner the ability to mount up to 3 arms at any length or manufacturer model. In addition the Avenger Direct uses Isolation from the Titan turntable with Pneumatic Air Suspension feet.

Key Features:

  • Fatboy Tonearm.
  • Nordost Reference Wire.
  • Direct Drive Motor.
  • VTA Base on the Fly.
  • Internal Circuitry and Power.
  • Made in the USA.

Product of the year - What HiFi Awards 2025

The latest revision of the British-engineered Chord Mojo 2 brings significant upgrades focused on connectivity and user experience.

A crucial change sees one of the original 3.5 mm outputs replaced by a 4.4 mm Pentaconn socket. This key improvement greatly expands compatibility with a wider range of high-performance headphones, while still retaining a convenient 3.5 mm connection for standard use. For added convenience, both the 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm outputs now feature independent volume memory. This allows users to precisely set and recall optimal output levels for different pairs of headphones.

Responding directly to customer feedback, Chord Electronics has further upgraded the device with switchable USB-C charging. This simplifies the charging operation, as the existing USB-C input is now enabled for both data and charging.

Key Features:

  • New 4.4 mm Pentaconn Headphone Output: Unlock the full potential of a far wider range of high-performance headphones.
  • Simplified USB-C Charging: The existing USB-C port now handles both data and charging, streamlining your power operation.
  • 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm outputs now feature independent volume/DSP memory for perfect level-setting, no matter which port you use.
  • Unrivalled digital audio processing; powerful 'FPGA' technology: more resolution, power and efficiency
  • Fully transparent 'Ultra HD' digital signal processing EQ, tailoring the sound to you
  • Take Mojo 2 wireless when adding the Poly streamer/server (1 TB+)
  • Improved battery over the original Mojo: FPGA-controlled management plus improved capacity
  • New menu function
  • 'UHD' DSP: advanced EQ adjustment for headphones, file formats and personal taste
  • Improved WTA filtering: 40 DSP cores for better transparency and lower noise
