HELIUS DESIGNS

Helius burst onto the audio scene in the mid 1980's revolutionising the industry with the Orion tonearm. Where other areas of analogue audio marched forward, little had changed in arm design - products were pretty basic and unimaginative... The 1983 Orion bristled with new ideas - it offered tetrahedral bearings, damping by differential masses, enjoyed zero-point potential ( centroid ) balancing, a unique 10" geometry, adjustable azimuth, silver Litz wire, counterweighing optimised for effective mass and many other features never before seen in tonearms.
