    yes Ortofon model numbers are a bit strange ,
    the TA is a nice arm though much improved on its jelco cousin
    Paul
    PS Mike I wouldn't buy one from japan though I would buy it from Ortofon
    they sell them direct on their web shop for 1450 euros so as cheep in the end

    I don't know, but I've bought from 2juki and his service is excellent. He is in Hong Kong.
