Element Achromatic Tonearm RCA

The resurgence of vinyl has prompted the introduction of new Atlas tonearm/turntable products to optimise your vinyl playback. Based on our multi-award winning Element Achromatic RCA, the Element Achromatic Tonearm cable is available with the choice of either a right-angle (90°) or straight (180°) entry 5 pin connector.

A stereo tonearm interconnect with an open, neutral sound, offering a worthwhile improvement in performance over the factory-supplied cables included with entry-level tonearms.

Benefitting from our ongoing research and development, the Element Tonearm cable is fitted with our Achromatic non-magnetic RCA plugs and integrated earth tag. The low-mass Achromatic connector features a solder-free, cold-weld connection, all optimised to create a coherent, continuous signal path. The signal conductor is a fully shielded high quality OFC copper, designed and constructed to provide maximum resistance to RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) which can raise noise levels in a poorly shielded cable, particularly important with such sensitive low-level signals as typically generated by a pick-up cartridge.

The 5 pin tonearm plug is precision-turned and hard gold-plated with PTFE (Teflon™) insulation. Cable entry is from either the side (right angle entry) or from the base (straight entry), please specify when ordering.

What The Experts Say…

Recent Reviews

The Atlas Achromatic RCA & Z connectors replace the previous Integra RCA and Black/Tin Cobalt Z-plug designs referred to in older reviews.

  • HiFi Choice

    Element Integra Tonearm RCA

    With the cable fed from a moving-coil cartridge and connected to my valve phono stage, I am immediately impressed by the refinement of the sound.

    …and the Element Integra is a great step up from many supplied tonearm cables.

  • The Audiophile Man

    Element Integra Tonearm RCA

    The amount of vocal detail on offer here was truly impressive and this was surely helped by a reduction in noise.

    In fact, the lower noise aspect of this cable is its biggest feature because, from that, all kinds of upper midrange insight and dynamic reach emerges from it.
