Ikeda Sounds Labs IT-407SS tone arm.
Stainless steel is known as having a high rigidity and lesser resonance. In view of these characteristics, we have developed a new Ikeda 12” Long tonearm: IT-407 made of stainless steel.
Outer parts and components of tonearm are made of and covered with stainless steel, but inner rotation parts are made with brass and high-quality bearings. Inside of stainless-steel pipe is constructed with a combination of Aluminum pipe (whole part) and brass (short part). As for each contact point, these points are treated with bright rhodium plating and inner wires are made with a hybrid strand wire of 6N copper and 4N copper.
The sound reproduced is highly stable, especially in the low range so that IT-407SS will be able to reproduce clear sound accurately in each tone. While playing, the fine height adjustment of tonearm is possible by the VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) arm base - Model: IT-VTA-06 as a standard accessory attached to the tonearm.
