We’re proud to announce the legendary Ikeda tonearms. The analog world has spent 50 years trying to catch up with the legendary simplicity of Ikeda’s brilliant design.
The IT-345CR1 is the 9″ version and the IT-407CR1 is the 12″ version.
Both arms are high mass designs, are dynamically balanced, and can support a cartridge weight range of 6 to 38.5 grams, with stylus force up to 5 grams.
The simplicity of the design has stood the test of time, but what sets it apart is the precision of execution.
This has been a guiding principle for us in the design and production of our Galibier turntables – design and implement the important elements exceedingly well, and when you think you’re “done”, take a step back and consider how you can do it even better.
