Congratulations!
You have purchased the finest tone arm in the world. The Stealth One is a precision electro-mechanical
device. It plays vinyl recordings in the same manner in which the recording was originally cut on the
mastering lathe, in a straight line. The Stealth One completely eliminates “skating” forces during
mastering lathe, in a straight line. The Stealth One completely eliminates “skating” forces during
playback, along with the tracking errors present in all pivoted arms. With normal care and minimal
maintenance, the Stealth One will bring you consistent imaging and accurate sound reproduction from
the outermost groove to the innermost groove of every vinyl record. Since the arm is unlike pivoted
arms, you are strongly advised to read these instructions thoroughly before beginning installation.
