About The MA-505, an ideal dynamic balance type tonearm, permits tracking force to be applied linearly during playback. The spring tracking force application system which allows linear tracking force adjustment between 0.25-3g, is totally uninfluenced by factors such as turntable location conditions or record pressings. Furthermore, at low tracking force settings, the tracking is exceptionally stable - resulting in unsurpassed performance with high compliance cartridges. Precision spring and tungsten wire ensure long life and unchanging accuracy. Source: https://www.vinylengine.com/library/micro-seiki/ma-505.shtml
