- Improved Series II Model

Slight discolorations and minor shape irregularities of the headshell are possible. This is the nature of the ceramic material, not a defect.
Hey, what's the deal with the Series II? What changed?
We are always looking for ways to improve. Through three years of production, we have learned enough to take the performance of our tonearms to the next level. Here's what we have done:
- Stainless steel vertical column, giving a more solid foundation to the whole tonearm
- Steel vertical shaft for deeper and more defined bass
- Internal redesign for even more rigidity
- Simpler, cleaner, more premium look
- Completely new azimuth adjustment mechanism for smoother setting
- I used this opportunity to completely rid the tonearm of all structural set screws. Now the only one left is the one holding the arm lift.
The TA-SF9R Reviews are in!
The Korf arm has an impressive ability to strip away extraneous noise and fuzz around each instrument, leaving an uncanny sense of clarity and purity. ... This is not a fat, lush sound. It's clear and quiet, providing an extra-clean window into the music. ... Clarity was the word that kept coming into my head, with no uneasy sense of inner groove distortion even in the thunderous final movement.

AnalogPlanet's Ken Micallef says the following about his Korf TA-SF9R on a classic TD-124:
"Through the Korf arm, music was fast, detailed, and of a huge soundstage (...) The Korf/Ortofon combination imbued the music with an exceptional coherence and flow (...)
"The Korf TA-SF9R 9-inch tonearm is a significant upgrade from my old Jelco. It’s remarkably smooth and graceful, like a Maserati or a lynx, and it extracts an extraordinary level of detail from vinyl. The sound is consistently dynamic and clear, removing any muddiness or confusion. It minimizes background noise around instruments, resulting in a wonderfully flowing, pure, and articulate presentation."
