For the audiophiles all over the world ORTOFON products reach legendary status. And thats rightfully. This is a opportunity to own whats becoming rare and more expensive on the world market. Excellent tonearm for serious music lovers **************************************************(I can give you hundreds of positive feedbacks) here of the last feedbacks Aligned. It is in an aftermarket VTA tower made for the Groovmaster IIti that was on the table before your arm. I will not going back to the GM!!! Only my $11,000 Glanz MH124 is superior and not by $10,000! I am thrilled at this arms performance richness of tone is its major strong point. Bass is tight super extendedand the too end extended and sweet. No ringing or tonal artifacts with this arm.Vocals are on par with the best of the best. Rich defined and harmonically perfect. Thank you sir. Well done! R.W Miyajima Labs USA importer._______________________________ My Ortofon tonearms go over the SME 3012 and SME 3012R, which costs about 5000 euros. It is only surpassed by a GLANZ for $11,000. Thats not what Im saying, but my customers.see here original mailsDear mr. BokrandI gave myself some time to make sure I wasn’t too hasty in judging. After many hours of listening to my favorite records, which I know very well, I can say that your arm holds up very well the comparison with my beloved SME 3012R, indeed, with the Ortofon SPU is superior in clarity, dynamics (!!!), soundness of bass...Thanks for everythingMassimo Longoni________________________________________________________________________ screw for setting Azimuth upgrade new tonearm base with maximum stability for the tonearm pillar ********************************************* here YouTube video from a satisfied customer Garrard 301 with my Ortofon AS-309 12 long Tonearm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UGYKBQ5tuE&list=PLZIpztUGDMFS2-0dzexJp-sEkUTes5Zdr&index=3 with kind permission of Praditchya Singhara Dear Alfred,I?m very happy with your tonearm, you can put my YouTube video in your listing.Regards, *********************************************Broadcast Tonearm Ortofon AS -309 12 long for Ortofon SPU-G and SME typeHeadshells ONE OF THE BEST 12 LONG TONEARMSIN THE WORLD MADE BY ALFRED BOKRANDGERMAN BROADCAST ENGINEER(RADIO+TV) WHY?PHYSICS and GEOMETRY never lies.....THIS ARMWAND IS OPTIMIZED FORLOWEST TRACKING DISTORSION3 THINGS DETERMINE THE QUALITY AND THE PERFORMANCE OF A PERFECT TONEARM:1) EFFEKTIVE LENGHT 2) OVERHANG3) OFFSET ANGLE============================ TONEARM GEOMETRY:EFFEKTIVE LENGTH : 321.459 mm MOUNTING DISTANCE: 309.4mmOVERHANG: 12.66 mmOFFSET ANGLE (DEGREES): 16.9 º _____________________________________________________________========================== ORTOFON 12 AS-309 TONEARM HAVE LESS DISTORSIONS AS THE SME 3012 series I ORTOFON AS-309 12 long compared to SME 3012 series I 309.4 mm mounting distance 294 mm 321.5 mm effektive lenght 305 mm12.6 mm Over hang 11 mm 16.9 º offset angle(degrees) 16.15 º 1.26 º maximum error º 2.11 º 0.3 % average distorsion 0.36 % 0.46 % maximum distorsion 0.72 % all results taken fromvinylengine Tonearm geometry with the lowest distortion worldwide, you will hear it immediately the geometry had to be calculated by hand in the 60s, because you did not have any computer calculation programs yet, this could never be the optimum, because the 3 parameters for the geometry are interdependent. When you change only one parameter to 0.5mm the distortions are great. Therefore, tonearms from the 60s can NEVER reach the perfection that is possible with the computer programs today___________________________________This tonearm combines the simple aesthetics of Ortofon Tonearms with the current best armtube geometry currently available only a perfect geometry of the armtube guarantees a low distortion.this is the first and most important thing with a tonearm.not the material, not exotic armtube materials or mimics can eliminate a fundamental distortion that exist due to a wrong and bad geometry.material of the armtube and Vaccination only has an impact on resonance and vibration coming from the plinth (engine vibration and music waves) tonal arms are offered on the market, which cost well over $ 15,000 and are advertised that give the materials the highest in technology (space travel, NASA ect) the geometry of a perfect tonearm with the lowest distorsions consists of: 1) effective length2) overhang3) offset angle nothing more and nothing less these 3 parameters are dependent on each other. This is mathematics and is based on formulas that have absolutely nothing to do with materials. With existing PC calculation programs, anyone can see if their tonearm has the least distortion due to the armtube geometry. This is the only objective method and not the subjective belief in exotic materials or great promises. if the distortions are very high, because the geometry of the armtube is bad, then helps no ball bearings from NASA or whatever. Many manufacturers want to persuade one. it also no helps no arm tube, made of 500 years old wood, which is the specially manufactured and polished by moonlight from a virgin.**************************************************************** 2 DIFFERENT COUNTER WEIGHTS 2 WEIGHTS TOGETHER FOR ORTOFON SPU-G CARTRIDGS UP TO 35 GRAMS or BIG COUNTER WEIGHT SINGLY FOR CARTRIDGES UP TO 20 GRAMS With this construction you have an enormous range of applications for all Cartridges _________________________________________________ ******************************** TONEARM COMES WITH :MOUNTING TEMPLATEMANUALSCREWS AND WASHERS FOR MOUNTING COLLARALLEN KEY FOR ADJUST LIFT DEVICESCREW DRIVER FOR MOUNTING COLLARTO SET THE VTA WORLDWIDE SHIPPINGTRACKING AND REGISTERED POST------------------------------------------- reviews from customers( Original text e-mails) from HiFi Wigwam:The Ortofon arm is one of the ones off ebay done by a German guy in Spain (Alfred Bokrand), based on the old (Danish-made) Ortofon AS212/309 bearing housing and anti-skate mechanism, with an arm tube and weights of his own design. I think its a wonderful bit of kit, I prefer it to the Thomas Schick arm that I used to have, which I had bias problems with, this is properly adjustable. Its a ridiculous bargain for the £500 or so hes charging for it. This 301 has a very special tonearm. It was made by Alfred Bokrand from an Ortofon AS-212 on which he has placed a 12? wand. The workmanship is first class and it tracks like a dream. This model of Ortofon arm is known for its pivot set up- it has wonderful bearings, it has a two part counter weight that will allow for a SPU with built in transformer......============================================================== Dear Alfred. I finally set up the tonearm and I am more than satisfied with the results. It has been a huge improvement in my musical experience. The tonearm is piece of beauty and perfect enginered for music reproduction. The classical records sound heavenly good and Jazz albums never as intimate. The severe wrapped records do never miss the track. The bass response is clean and solid. Great. Thanks for your patience with my issues and I am very grateful for send me another cable. Happy new year Afectuosamente Ignacio Enviado desde mi iPhone (email from 28.12.2016)Hi Alfred Just letting you know that the tonearm arrived safe and sound.I have installed it on a 16 broadcast turntable and it sounds great (and looks good as well). Thank you very much. Wolfgang (email from 30.12.2016) Hello Alfred, I have been wanting to tell you that I have been enjoying your tonearm so very much ! The set up was easy, thank you for the template and alignment tool, it is very precise. The quality of the tonearm is excellent, of course, and I have already found the split counterweight very useful. I have been trying the arm with a Denon 103 and an Ikeda 9C cartridge, and both sound wonderful. The Ikeda requires much more attention to alignments, and your tonearm makes that very simple. It is also nice to have the anti skate adjustment too, which helps a lot with the ikeda. More than anything, Im enjoying music, which is more important than any technicalities. I will send you photos soon of my turntable setup so you may see everything in its happy state. My turntable is a Garrard 401. With many thanks again, in gratitude for your fine work and dedication, S.M New York 17.Sept. 2014 Hallo Alfred, es ist vollbracht. In ca. 3 Tagen habe ich die Zarge für den Neuen aufgebaut.Die ersten Platten drehen sich seit gestern auf dem Ortofon-Bokrand Sp-15.Schon erstaunlich was da aus meinen Eckhörnern kommt.Ich kann ihn nur mit meinem EMT 948 vergleichen mit dem ich seit ca. 1 Jahr sehr intensiv höre.Ich hab das Gefühl, dass das Gespann des Neuen sehr nahe an Perfektion ist und das für ca. 1/3 des Preises des 948!Vielen Dank für deine tolle Arbeit an dem Tonarm! Thomas K.(Germany) 28.12.2012 ORTOFON 12 long with TECHNICS SP-15 from Thomas K. Hi Alfred. I have been using this tone arm with my Garrard 301 / mono Ortofon Spu cartridge. It sounds absolutely superb. I must congratulate you on your fine work. Have you had a chance to post the Ortofon Head shell yet? I am looking forward to using this with my Shure V15mxr cartridge. Many thanks. John ----- Original Message -----Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 6:23 PM Subject: AW: Re: Ortofon Tone Arm Dear Alfred I have finally set up the tonearm and listened to LPs with it. I have to say that it is better than some of my other arms, possibly because of the strong arm tube.(FROM FSK HONG KONG)Hi Alfred, Glad to tell you that I have received and installed the tonearm after some hard work. Sound is great ! Still take some time for the cartridge to break-in but the tracking ability is extraordinary which allows any music to sing beautifully. Otherwise, it seems perfect to me. Thank you for your help ! Hi Alfred, The system actually sounds better and better from day to day. Impressive particular for old LPs. While writing to you, I am listening to the original Moon River of Andy William. The Exdous Song has never sound so good before - Superb !(Original text email from Japan)Dear Alfred I have at last set up your arm and can now give you an early impression of the sound. Beautifully balanced throughout the frequency range, no irritating frequencies stand out. Air and focus are superb. It is very musical with excellent pitch. Tonal range is very even handed and smooth. However the overall feeling is best summed up by saying that it sounds right in particular piano takes on the feel of one you have grown to recognise from your days in school plays.(Original text of the email from UK)---------------------------------------------------------------------Hello Alfred, I received the new cable yesterday afternoon.Thank you very much for your fast and kindly support.At last, I was able to listen to the sound of your special tonearm. WOW ! Excellent !! I love it.I always use DENON DL103-LC2(?? as a standard cartridgetesting the change of the sound. It was still the result of the short time test, but I felt the sound wassplendid.Lower background-noise, wide and deep sound-stage, particularlythe sonority is very natural and clear.(original mail from Mr.T. Japan)_______________________________________________________ Good morning Alfred, Well, yesterday I mounted your arm on the plinth with the SPU Meister Silver. Mounting was a breeze using my tool for determining the spindle to pivot distance. Using the dual counterweight it is also very easy to tune for optimal stylus pressure, at least far more easy than when using one counterweight. So that is a practical plus for the dual counterweights above the ability for mounting less heavy cartridges as well.I asked you before how your tonearm would compare to the Schick and you were modest. No need to! It is so much better than the Schick when using the heavy SPU.. really, it performs better on from low up to the high frequencies. I have been listening, or actually rediscovering, lots of records sinds yesterday afternoon. I always found that the SPU had at some records a bit of harsh highs but these are completely gone now. So that must have been the combination with the Schick, is my guess. Resonances are way better suppressed now and I do believe that the heavy and sturdy construction does not allow for any other movement of the cartridge/needle than lateral movement.I bow deep for your expertise as that must be the basis of the reconstructed Ortofon! We are really impressed here! My suggestion is that I buy two more arms from you. So I keep the one that is on my turntable now and you send over two complete tonearms. These two consist of the one that you customised for me and another one.I want to replace the Schick with a second AB309 and the third will be for a friend who started dancing in my room when he heard your tonearm..So all together:1. I will keep the tonearm I currently have. This one will go to my friend as he likes the J-shaped armtube.2. The customised arm by you, complete with mounting stuff and counterweights, will replace the one that will go to my friend.3. The third tonearm will replace the Schick tonearm on my plinth. So that is a whole new arm.DHT Rob Netherland 02/12/2018 pictures received from satisfied customers ABOUT ME AND MY BACKGROUND I AM 72 YEARS AND LIVE 30 YEARS IN SPAINI AM GERMAN BROADCAST ENGINEER (RADIO+TV)AND THIS IS MY HOBBY.I AM ANALOG HI-FI AND VINYL ENTHUSIAST ALL WHAT YOU GET FROM ME IS PROFESSIONALTESTED AND COMES IN PERFECT CONDITIONTHEREFORE:IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED,MONEY BACK GUARANTEE***************************************

my absolute TOP model-more improvements are not possible included continuous wiring from Headshell connector to RCA´s with only 9.8 pF per feet) beats expensive 1,662 Euro cables on the market that have 16 pF per feet 9.8 pF worlds lowest cable capacity per feet solid brass tonearm material has always been Ortofons first choice for their tonearmsfor example :RF-309,RK-309 and much moretherefore, from now on, all my Ortofon tonearms are made of solid brass with a sandblasted surface, which suppresses enormously unwanted resonance. For this reason, EMT has given the EMT 997 head part, counterweight and montage base a special black paint that has a rough surface******************************************************************************* the so-called resonance curve, the width of which is a measure of the quality of the vibration. Brass has a very narrow resonance curve (compared to e.g. aluminium), which speaks for high quality, low damping and thus its suitability for building bells or similar. From the relationship between the length of the rod and the wavelength, it is very easy to calculate the speed of sound in the respective substance (a few thousand meters per second in the case of metals) in the case of resonance. Measurement result: perfectly controlled vibration behavior no sound-influencing natural resonances drastically minimized Impact: supremely open and contoured music reproduction excellent transparency holographic three-dimensionality excellent detail precision ***************************************** ORTOFON products reach legendary status.
