T. S (Anti Skipping Tone-arm System) The A. S. T. S (Anti Skipping Tone-arm System) was years in trial and development. Initially the quest was to improve on the tracing of tone arms available at the time, but soon the quest mutated into designing a completely new tone arm and hold system. The result of this laborious task has enhanced the turntables potential immensely and is now incorporated into all Vestax professional level turntables. The system breaks with ill foundered traditional tone arm logic in order to achieve a high level of non skipping performance, especially during hard play (scratch). Essentially this system focuses on two very separate, yet very important inventions. One is a short straight arm and the other is the way in which the arm is balanced, both vertically and horizontally. · TH (Tracing hold) Balance System.
