Cut down version of the HR100S with a similar sound and bargain used price.

So similar to the HR1000S that there shouldn't be the significant price difference that exists. Pure titatinium arm. Best for moving coil cartridges that need a high compliance arm. Perfect for the application. Only rated a 9 because of the HR1000S

Hi-Fi Choice 1983-1986:-
'On audition, it proved hard at first to separate this model from the well rated HR100S. The Xenon showed a solid overall control with firm sense of image focus over a wide frequency range'
'with a high standard of engineering, a basically good finish and fine lab performance, the Xenon comes strongly recommended'
