TechDas “Air Force 10” tone arm is born. Bringing together all the air vacuum and air bearing technology cultivated with the Air Force turntable, as well as the knowledge and experience cultivated in precision machining of titanium and tungsten.

Air Force 10 ToneArm is a model that was exhibited at this year's Tokyo International Audio Show. All of the air vacuum and air bearing technology cultivated with the TechDAS Air Force turntable, as well as the knowledge and experience cultivated in precision machining of titanium and tungsten, are brought together.

　The result of approximately three years of development and design, air bearing technology has resultedin the smoothest and most accurate tonearm movement. The high damping properties of the materials used in the arm tube and body allow for ultimate silence and delivery of all the information the cartridge scoops up. The quiet and delicate movement of the air bearing reproduces the fine details embedded in the grooves of the record, allowing you to experience the atmosphere of being there.

　This product has been awarded the "Stereo Sound Grand Prix 2023"

New phono cartridge TDC01 Dia with Tapered Pipe Diamond Cantilever

The award winning was just announced in the Grand Prix special issue
(2025 Winter) of the magazine and here are some quotes:

"The new TechDAS cartridge is formidable that its cantilever is made of
diamond machined in a tapered and tubular structure."

"Dia cartridge realizes an unrivaled resolution that no other cartridge
could achieve."

"It delivers such reality that it would be a true you-are-there
experience, and you would feel as if this is actually happening in front
of you. At the same time, the sound is so natural as it has nothing
artificially emphasized. Probably this is because of its hollow tubular
structure, which allows not only rigidity but also a superb flexibility."
