Lithuanian turntable manufacturer Reed demonstrated its new tonearm, the 5T (£14,900), mounted on a Muse 1C belt-drive turntable (£11,000). The 5T is a tangentially tracking pivoted tonearm based on the Thales theorem and claiming a maximum tracking error of +/- .005 degrees.  The position of the tonearm is regulated by laser and a linear sensor array. Both products will be distributed in the US by Axiss, although US pricing was not available.
