EXPIRED For Sale Linn 9CC Tonearm

Further Information

Project 9CC Tonearm for Linn LP12.
Pickup (and inspection welcome) or happy to post from Dulwich Hill, Sydney.

* In excellent condition, this ProJect9CC sounds great but has been barely used. It was originally fitted on a 2018 Majik LP12 which I purchased from KJ West One in London.

*The 9CC features a one-piece carbon-fibre armtube and headshell, which is designed to minimise parasitic vibrations. The conical shape of the armtube helps avoid standing wave reflections, contributing to cleaner sound reproduction.

* The tonearm uses an inverted bearing design with four ABEC7 spec ballraces, which ensures low-friction movement and precise tracking across the record groove. This design also supports smooth vertical and horizontal tracking adjustments.

Mounting and Compatibility:

* It’s designed to fit turntables or tonearm boards with a mounting hole according to the Linn standard, making it compatible with a wide range of turntables, including those from Pro-Ject or those requiring a Linn-style mount.

Technical Specifications:
* Headshell: 0.5″ (12.7mm) standard
* Mounting Distance: 212mm (platter to tonearm base, Linn standard)
* Supplied Counterweight: Suitable for cartridge weights between 6 – 10g
* Optional Counterweights: Available for cartridge weights of 3 – 6g, 5 – 8g, and 11 – 15g
* Effective Length: 9″ (230mm)
* Effective Mass: 8.5g
* Overhang: 18mm
* Weight: 250g (without counterweight)
* The tonearm’s solid armbase allows for accurate height adjustment, which is crucial for setting the vertical tracing angle (VTA). Azimuth can be easily adjusted due to the single-screw fixing of the armtube.

Performance:

* The 9CC’s design efficiently leads parasitic vibrations away from the cartridge into the mounting board, enhancing cartridge performance by reducing unwanted resonances. This results in smoother, more effective sound reproduction.

In summary, the Project 9CC Tonearm is a well-regarded choice for those seeking high-quality sound reproduction from their vinyl records, with its carbon-fibre construction, precision bearings, and flexible setup options.
