Audio Craft AC-3000MC Oil-Damped One-Point Support Stereo Vintage Tonearm

Audio Craft AC-3000MC Oil-Damped One-Point Support Stereo Vintage Tonearm

The Audio Craft AC-3000MC is a high-end Japanese tonearm from the late analogue era, designed around a precision uni-pivot bearing system with oil damping to achieve extremely low friction and controlled resonance. Built with a strong focus on adjustability, the arm allows fine tuning of tracking force (0–3g range), VTA and azimuth, making it well suited to careful cartridge matching and optimisation. Audiocraft tonearms are well regarded for their engineering quality and modular design, and the AC-3000MC remains a sought-after option among enthusiasts for its precision, versatility, and classic Japanese build quality.
