Reed 2A is for customers, who have fixed audio setup and just want to listen for the perfect sound. Reed 2A model has the same sound quality as Reed 3Q or Reed 2P models, but has less possibilities for adjustment.
Technical details
Support consists of two parts: the massive stand and moving part, made of solid metal. After adjusting tonearm height it is tightened to a stand. Such construction is rigid and stable.
Bearings feature carbide tungsten points and sapphire thrust pad. Such bearings have a very low friction and minimal contact surface, reducing noise transmission from support to the cartridge.
Lever antiskating mechanism is supported by ruby olive bombe bearings. Antiskating mechanism is dynamic. Antiskating force is constant while cartridge moves to the centre of the plate. Ruby olive bombe bearings reduce mechanism friction to a minimum.

Reed 2P model is dedicated for audiophiles who do not trust to various setup rules and prefer to adjust their system based on their senses. This model has possibility to adjust VTA on the fly. Limits of fine VTA adjustment is 0.8 deg and precision - 0.2 deg. On the other words, height of tonearm can be changed very easily and quickly +/- 2 mm. It is enough to adjust according different LPs thickness (from 0.8 mm to 3 mm).

Tonearm is statically balanced. To minimize "swinging" effect, counterweight is at the same horizontal level as the needle used tip.

We proudly introduce our newest Reed 3Q model, equipped with laser which lets very quickly and precisely adjust VTA (precision +/- 0.1 mm) and azimuth (precision +/- 0.25 deg).It is very important after changing the cartridge, because of differences in cartridges heights. As known for everyone, after every changing of cartridge, VTF should be adjusted also. Using cartridges with high and medium compliance, VTA (SRA) should be adjusted every time after changing VTF. It is because VTF changes cause cantilever bending and changes of SRA. To get best sound quality, even after changing LP with different thickness (it can be from 0.8 mm to 3 mm), VTA should be adjusted accordingly.
