Linn Arko Tonearm
Arko has greatly improved rigidity, precision and coupling throughout the arm wand assembly, thanks to machined 7075-grade aluminium specified throughout; and the new stainless
steel through spindle as well as the ultra-stable gimbal platform facilitates superb bearing concentricity and alignment.
Special care and effort was taken to ensure that 7075-grade aluminium would be used exclusively throughout the arm – from headshell to gimbal – with the resultant material synergy and coupling effectively banishing undesirable resonances away from the delicate generator, and out through the sub-chassis.
Marry Arko to its partner cartridge, Kendo, and this synergy is improved yet further with superior dissipation of resonance along the tonearm system.
Key Features
• Machined aluminium headshell with elongated form factor and slots to accommodate a broad range of cartridges & reduce moving mass
• Precision machined slots on counterweight to enable accurate setting of tracking force
• High-precision, cold-drawn 7075 aluminium arm tube is incredibly stiff and produced to exceedingly high tolerances
• Gimballed design possesses superb inherent stability and rigidity; and results in an improved sense of depth, impact and emotion
• 7075-grade aluminium specified throughout; providing superior coupling between parts and exceptional dissipation of resonance
• Optimised to partner with Kendo MC (moving coil) cartridge
