About the Meursault RF-773

The Shindo Meursault RF-773 is a beautifully crafted 12-inch tonearm that pays aesthetic homage to the legendary Ortofon RF-297. It is designed specifically to work with the Shindo SPU cartridge, featuring a dynamic spring-loaded arm that allows precise balancing and tracking force adjustment at the prescribed 2.8 grams. The tonearm requires careful vertical tracking angle (VTA) adjustment, which should be set higher in the back to optimize overhang and preserve musical detail, life, and pace. This tonearm is part of Shindo Laboratory's lineup of premium HiFi components, known for their meticulous craftsmanship and use of premium materials. The Meursault name follows Shindo's tradition of naming products after French wine regions, reflecting the refined character of the product. The unit is finished in Shindo's signature green and black color scheme and is highly regarded for its tracking performance and synergy with the Shindo SPU cartridge, delivering effortless retrieval of musical information and superior tracking compared to many other high-end cartridges.
