EKOS TONEARM

• The EKOS is manufactured to very close tolerances. To follow are the main features of the arm
• The headshell is machined from a solid black of hi-strength aluminium alloy which is far stronger than any casting technique
• The armtube is bonded to the headshell and the main body using an advanced adhesive
• The bearing assembly is matched to tolerances of 1 micron
• The lift/lower device is damped in both directions to eliminate unwanted vibration
• The tracking weight and bias adjustment are similar to the Ittok, but the spring is made to a closer tolerance so the tracking weight can be set even more accurately
• The EKOS uses the same telescopic arm mounting arrangement as the Ittok.
• There is also an EKOS armboard available from your dealer - the only difference with this
• board is that there is no hole for the Ittok armrest.
