With Arko, Linn have returned to fundamentals, by removing all bar the mission critical elements of tonearm design, boiling these down to their essence, and then honing what was left to superlative standards. Perfectly poised and rigorously refined, Arko is precision simplicity.
This tonearm features an ultra stable gimbal platform which facilitates superb bearing concentricity and alignment. Its arm wand travels in space with minimum hindrance. The affixed cartridge bobs and moves with the warps and grooves of the record, with finesse and fluidity. Special care and effort was taken to ensure that 7075-grade aluminium would be used exclusively throughout the arm wand assembly, 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 perfect partner, our aluminium-bodied Kendo moving coil cartridge, and this energy transfer is improved yet further.
