All three decks get the same bronze/steel bearing and the Zero also packs a Rega RB202 arm within its price, but gets a bamboo or MDF plinth and wall-wart PSU in place of the One’s birch-ply plinth and standalone PSU. The One is positioned slap bang in the middle of the company’s record player range, sensibly sandwiched between the Zero (£650) and Two (£1,600) models. Launched by Divine Audio’s head honcho Tim Chorlton and Mark Groom, and with power supplies designed by Garrard guru Martin Bastin, Analogue Works is a new turntable manufacturer that brings plenty of experience to the table, which has been ploughed into the company’s carefully crafted range of record players and accessories.

The Thomas Schick is one of our reference tonearms here at Cool Gales, providing, to our ears, an ideal blend of the detail and frequency extremes of very much higher-priced modern tonearms with the purity of tone and emotion of classic vintage tonearms. By special request, we can supply a unit that accepts A-style Ortofon SPUs, the stubby, square style SPUs, whose geometry requires a different offset angle. The standard Schick accepts all GM-style Ortofon SPUs. Mono cartridges with no vertical compliance at all can also be used. The weight of the cartridge should be 5-6 grams or more. The cartridge compliance value should be below 20 µm/mN ( 22 for the nine inch arm) with a large tolerance, still keeping the resonant frequency in the desired range. The Schick tonearm can be used with a wide range range of cartridges. Each version is available in different finishes (the tonearm wand and tonearm lift mechanism in each finish are silver): black, gold, and silver. The Thomas Schick tonearm is available in three lengths, 9 inches, 10.5 inches, and 12 inches.

We recommend one of Thomas’ own headshells. A DIN termination version is also available.Īll Thomas’ tonearms include a nylon-string-and-weight style anti-skate mechanism.

The wiring, of very high-purity copper, is one continuous run from the headshell contact points to the RCA plugs, with an interconnect length of about 1.2 m. The Thomas Schick tonearm was initially designed as a modern alternative to classic tonearms like the SME 30 for vintage turntables, yet it works equally well with all modern turntables.Īt the heart of the Thomas Schick tonearm are near-zero-tolerance ball bearings, which result in a virtually frictionless and utterly quiet tonearm pivot that will offer like-new performance for decades to come.
