About the GrooveMaster II
The GrooveMaster II is a heavyweight, hand-built tonearm from Audio Creative in the Netherlands, designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional tracking and musicality. It features a high-precision, hybrid ceramic bearing system (ABEC-7 spec), a micrometer-style adjustable anti-skating mechanism, and azimuth adjustment for optimal cartridge alignment. The arm is CNC-machined from high-grade aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel, with a standard effective mass of approximately 22 grams, making it ideal for low to medium compliance cartridges up to 20 µm/mN, such as the Denon DL-103 and Ortofon SPU. The GrooveMaster II is available in 9", 10", and 12" armtube lengths, with the 12" version offering improved tracking geometry. Internal wiring is pure silver, and the headshell connector is a custom, sturdier design for secure mounting of heavy cartridges. The tonearm is praised for its stable, full-bodied sound, low resonance, and minimal bearing noise, delivering detailed, dynamic music reproduction. Each unit is individually built and tested over two days in a climate-controlled workshop.
