Arko
High-precision gimballed tonearm
Arko embodies a deliberate pursuit of simplicity by focusing solely on the essential elements of tonearm design. We have meticulously stripped away all non-essential components, distilling them to their fundamental essence, and refining what remained to reach unparalleled standards. The result is Arko, a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and the embodiment of effortful simplicity.
With Arko, we have embraced a back-to-basics approach, stripping away all non-essential elements of tonearm design to focus solely on the mission-critical components. We distilled these essential elements to their purest form and refined them to exceptional standards. The result is Arko, a tonearm characterized by effortless simplicity and impeccable balance.
Arko boasts an ultra-stable gimbal platform, enabling exceptional bearing concentricity and alignment. Its arm wand glides through space with minimal resistance, allowing the attached cartridge to gracefully follow the contours of the record's warps and grooves, with finesse and fluidity.
To achieve optimal performance, meticulous attention was given to the choice of materials. The arm wand assembly, from the headshell to the gimbal, exclusively utilizes 7075-grade aluminum. This deliberate material selection establishes a harmonious synergy and coupling that effectively eliminates unwanted resonances, directing them away from the delicate generator and dissipating them through the sub-chassis.
For an even heightened energy transfer, pair Arko with its ideal companion, our aluminum-bodied Kendo moving coil cartridge. This synergy between the two components further enhances the overall performance, ensuring an unparalleled audio experience.
