Virtually frictionless movement: The clearaudio TT3 uses polished glass and exceptionally smooth-running ball bearings to ensure low-resonance tracking.

Low-friction guidance

Polished glass and particularly smooth-running ball bearings enable almost frictionless movement of the tonearm. At the same time, the construction supports exceptionally low-resonance tracking behaviour.
