  • 8.6" aluminum tonearm w/ sapphire bearings
  • includes pre-installed Ortofon OM10Ā cartridge ($99 value)

"The EssentialĀ IIIĀ Phono at this exclusive promotion price is an excellent value. At this price point, the Essential III stands out with European-madeĀ construction, wood + steel parts, and high-quality components such as the aluminum tonearm, Ortofon OM10 cartridge, high-grade bearings, and the Connect-It E cable. In our opinion, the Essential III has a slight edge over the T1 series as well." - TTL
