A brief word
from the designer
My thanks and congratulations to you for choosing the AQUILAR.
The AQUILAR is the result of my more than 35 years of intimate research and
preoccupation with analog playback - with the specific focus on the interaction of the
record groove with the cartridge and tonearm.
The AQUILAR in both versions - the 10” and 12” effective length - is the direct
derivate and distillate from our 12” AXIOM tonearm introduced in 2012.
A truely universal tonearm, which offers all and every option of alignment –
while ensuring the best possible mechanical guidance for any cartridge.
Taking into account the paramount importance of energy transfer in relation to
effective moving mass.
Resulting in a level of performance only obtainable, when each and every aspect
of the analog audio tracking process is attended to with utmost attention to every
minute detail.
A level of performance, which transcends prior frontiers and opens new levels of
musical realism in the playback of recorded music.
We do share the real passion for music and I am confident that the AQUILAR will
allow you to hear and enjoy your favorite records like never before.
Please get yourself accustomed with this manual.
Make sure you familiarise yourself with each and every aspect of the AQUILAR’s
options.
Your time will be rewarded with outstanding performance, to the benefit of your
whole analog set-up and ultimately your enjoyment of recorded music.
The AQUILAR is entirely designed, manufactured and assembled with care and
dedication in Bavaria, Germany.
Kind regards
D. D. Brakemeier
