Connected-Fidelity at the Bristol HiFi Show 2026

Connected-Fidelity, in room 414, are introducing their new CF-1010 tonearm to the public for the first time...

The 9” CF-1010 arm has a one-piece titanium tube and headshell design; the tube having a very particular curved shape to control its resonant behaviour, optimising stiffness and pushing the first resonant mode up as high as possible.

A stiff composite headshell design puts the fundamental frequency of the headshell at 14,000 Hz, and the composite material absorbs 80-90% of unwanted vibrational energy from the cartridge body.

The CF-1010 bearing design offers both very accurate alignment and concentricity, with reliable zero play. Pre-loaded for zero microns tolerance, allows the cartridge to pick up the very smallest details from the vinyl groove, without distortion.

We will have the CF-1010 fitted to our TT Hub turntable, and fitted with the new Hana Umami Black cartridge.
