It's with some reluctance that I've decided to offer my Wand unipivot
tonearm for sale. However I've had it a while now and whilst it's been absolutely stunning in looks and performance I fancy a change of direction and it seems silly to have it sitting unused in the spare room.

Bought from a guy over in Cheshire about 2 years ago, I believe it's the classic model which was bought direct from DBL at some point.

The Wand Classic Tonearm*is aimed at the enthusiast who want great sound for a great price. It has been stripped of everything that doesn't contribute to that aim.*As such when I bought the arm it was fully manual cuing, since then the fine
folk at DBL were able to provide me with a matching arm lift assembly which makes cueing a simpler prospect. There a lot of info to be found online about this arm and reviews all paint a glowing picture of it.

As can be seen in the pictures the wand uses a large diameter carbon tube and to me looks amazing still, the sound is actually much better than the looks. Swapping from a rega rb301 to this was a revelation, the sound stage grew immensly and everything sounded far more alive and realistic.

I don't have the original box but will ensure its packaged securely along with its set up tools and information sheet. Price including RM recorded delivery is £400.00. Collection is of course more than welcome from Liverpool, I occasionally travel down to the Midlands so might be able to deliver or meet up maybe.

Pictures will be up very shortly.

Happy to email better picures on request. It's in generally great condition and is a brilliant looking and sounding arm.

So, is it a straight drop in for a Rega?

Bump

Reduced to £380 inc postage.

Would also be interested in a swop for something like a jelco 750 maybe.
