Roksan Tabriz

The Tabriz was a tone arm manufactured by the Roksan Corporation. This is high-end British design and engineering fabricated from a single piece aluminium alloy with effective length of 240 mm. With the addition of a kit, it is upgradable to the Tabriz zi, which uses the Roksan intelligent counterweight, Artemiz fixing clamp with washer, and high definition cable. The intelligent counterweight upgrade is extremely unique and special, because it is able to dynamically optimise the tracking force, which drastically improves its tracking ability when playing badly warped records. Consequently the Tabriz zi is highly sought after by audiophiles and costs a few hundred pounds on a good day. In the Roksan Sept 1991 Hi-Fi Price List, the UK retail price of the Tabriz tone arm was £165.00, whilst the zi upgrade kit cost £115.00.
