Tonearms

DaVinci Audio makes two tone-arms: Grandezza Reference and Nobile tone-arms. They come in 9, 10, and 12 inch versions. The Grand Reference Grandezza, and Nobile tonearms both takes advantage of a double gimballed ruby bearing. These tone-arms do not use conical bearing. Instead they use eight rubies in the ancient watch making tradition. The steel bearing bolts are hand fitted by a Swiss watch maker to ensure the DaVinci standard of precision. There is no azimuth control, by design.

DaVinci Audio Grandezza Reference tone-arm is a beauty. Its armwand is cocobolo. The arm either comes in two options where the bronze pieces are coated in either 24K gold-plated or rhodanized luxury model (factory charges us their cost, and we pass that cost to you – no extra margin here). There are a few other extras over Nobile too like WBT NextGen plugs, and Feickert protractor.

DaVinci Audio Nobile tonearm uses aluminum bearing block, with steel basis. It has a magnetic anti skating. Nobile tonearm tube is made of carbon, has steel counter weights and aluminum head shell. Phono cable is direct and one meter.
