A tone arm according to an embodiment includes: a first arm configured to rotate around a rotation shaft in a horizontal direction of a record; a second arm configured to rotate around a free fulcrum of the first arm as the first arm rotates; a motor configured to rotatably drive the first arm; and a controller configured to control a phase angle of the motor so that the second arm is disposed with a longitudinal axis thereof extends in a tangent direction of a groove of the record at a contact position of a stylus attached to a tip portion of the second arm and the groove of the record.

A uniquely pivotable tonearm stabilized by magnetic fields to achieve superior fidelity during playback, is disclosed. The tonearm comprises a tonearm and an arm wand suspended using two or more torsional elements. A top nut assembly is positioned over a top chassis. The top nut assembly is rotated to provide anti-skating force by rotating counter clockwise. The torsional elements are suspended from the top nut assembly and mounted to the arm wand body as an inverted V configuration. The tonearm further comprises two or more magnets including a ring magnet mounted on a lower chassis body and a pair of cylindrical magnets mounted in the arm wand body. Further, a counterweight is mounted on an end of the arm wand and configured to provide the necessary down-force to balance a cartridge and arm wand during operation, thereby providing improved stability with significant improvement in sound quality.

A device for bearing a tone arm, in particular a tone arm of a record player, includes a first component and a tone arm holding body which is mounted via a bearing apparatus so as to be rotatable about a first axis, in particular a vertical axis, and pivotable relative to the first component about a second axis, in particular a horizontal axis. At least one first magnetic means is arranged or formed on the tone arm holding body and at least one second magnetic means is arranged or formed on the first component. The first magnetic means and the second magnetic means interact with one another via a magnetically attracting and/or repelling magnetic force.

A liquid-bearing tonearm device is configured to read a record on a turntable and comprises a base seat, a liquid tank and a cartridge assembly. The liquid tank is mounted at the base seat, disposed over the turntable, elongated along a linear direction, and has a containing chamber containing working liquid. The cartridge assembly floats on the liquid tank through a floating piece and has a stylus portion and a counterweight portion. The liquid-bearing tonearm device is used with the turntable to play music. A cartridge is assembled to the stylus portion and contacts grooves of the record to read vibrations and signals. When the turntable spins the record, the cartridge assembly floats in the liquid tank and is moved along the linear direction with the cartridge pulled inwardly by the record. So, a contacting angle between the cartridge and the grooves remains parallel, thereby enhancing reading quality.
