The J.A. Michell Engineering T2 is an entry-level audiophile tonearm made for the TecnoDec turntable. Michell says the latest T2 design improves ergonomics, usability, and sonic performance over its predecessor, uses a new arm tube and the current three-point arm mounting system, and is hand assembled for very low friction and precise tracking. It is only available when ordering a TecnoDec turntable and is not sold separately.
