Tonearms by Ikeda
Ikeda 345
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 withstood the test of time, and 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.
