Though current Abis SA1.2 arms are substantially the same as the first version of the SA1 tonearm, the refinements in bearings and geometry improve on the performance of the original. With the introduction of the SA1.2B tonearm, along with the improved SA1.2, Abis has improved the performance of the original SA1 tonearm, already recognized by Stereophile as a meritorious design. The SA1.2B is the black version of the SA1.2, and all other specifications are the same. The SA1.2 was added to Stereophile’s Class A list of recommended tonearms in the April 2016 issue. The Yamamoto HS3, weighing a little over 8 grams, is a perfect headshell for the SA1.2, especially for medium compliance cartridges, like the Grados. I am offering special pricing on Yamamoto Sound Craft headshells to existing and future Abis owners.
