DESIGN BUILD LISTEN
The experience of the special musical magic that vinyl is able to reproduce led us to develop the Wand Tonearm® and now The Wand Turntable™.
THE WAND UNIPIVOT TONEARM® represents a step change in tonearm design. Its large diameter carbon-fiber arm tube makes it at least four times stiffer than ‘traditional’ arms.
Since being launched in late 2011 it has picked up the BEST Design Award (New Zealand) and numerous Five Star reviews around the world.
It is available as in 9.5in, 10.3in and 12in lengths and in two specification levels, The Wand Plus and The Wand Master Series.
THE WAND TURNTABLE MODEL 14-4 was launched in 2019 and is now available. It has been demonstrated at half a dozen audio shows around the world and initial response is very positive…. see Wand Turntable Review page. Like the tonearms it boasts a raft of original thinking, from the large 14” diameter multi-layer platter to the computer machined anti vibration chassis, all in the service of providing musical magic.

DESCRIPTION
The Wand Classic
The original model of The Wand. This arm is pared back to offer maximum musical bang for the buck. It doesn’t have a mechanical arm lifter and uses a different mounting but it sounds great! This is only available to order at around 30% less than the Plus models.
The Wand Master Series
Makes real gains in sound quality with easily adjustable VTA, a vibration shunt (damper), silver coated copper wiring, silver carbon fiber, and a Silver Design Award!
THE WAND TURNTABLE

Large diameter (360mm) gives 20% more inertia than conventional platter of equivalent mass.
Four-layer construction of platter damps vibration and noise transfer.
Acrylic playing surface for vibration transfer from record for increased resolution.
Screw down clamp with acrylic surface allows record label to be seen.
German Plywood main structure. Asymmetric shape and internal machining to disperse noise and vibration.
Zentroidal™ three point suspension system. The centroid of suspension, the stillest point, is close to the playing arc to maximise shock and vibration rejection.
DC Motor with superb electronic speed control. 33 / 45rpm (& 78 to order).
Electronic braking for quick record changing.

THE WAND EQ
Turntable Phono Stage
DESCRIPTION
The Wand EQ Phono Stage was designed by our friends at Pureaudio, voiced to go with The Wand tonearm, and hand-made in Aotearoa / New Zealand.
Its name EQ evolves from the fact that it was fine-tuned to maximise the Emotional Quotient of music that may be resolved in vinyl.
It uses an extremely low noise dual J-FET input and power supply to compliment this and the detail resolution possible from The Wand 14-4 turntable and tonearm. It operates in Class A.
The Wand EQ is suitable for Moving Coil Cartridges or Moving Magnet cartridges.
It is available as a stand-alone unit or as a module inside The Wand 14-4 turntable.
