The Ortofon Type D is an additional counterweight specifically designed for the Ortofon AS 309 S tonearm. Weighing 291.6 grams, it is an essential component for those seeking maximum precision in turntable setup. Proper adjustment of the tonearm is crucial to ensure optimal tracking performance and faithful, well-balanced vinyl playback that reflects the value of the audio investment. The balance between the tonearm and cartridge weight directly affects sound quality: insufficient mass can lead to unwanted resonances, while a well-calibrated weight keeps the resonance frequency within a safe and sonically favorable range.
