The strength of the single component avoids the risk of distortion and ensures minimum loss of information when locked together.” Reduction in the number of components ensures that the arm is mounted directly to the arm collar rather than being mounted via an additional tube assembly. This increases the strength and also considerably reduces resonance throughout the arm. The wall thickness of the bearing assembly has been increased approximately three fold.
All mounting and assembly holes are finished to the highest standards and where possible have been moved outside the central bearing area, ensuring a stress free assembly that will not distort once assembled into the main arm unit. This improves the fit between the bearings and the housing which ensures minimum friction. The improvements we have made over the original Ekos tonearm include machining the bearing mating surfaces to an even higher tolerance and better surface finish. The horizontal bearing housing has undergone extensive modification, however the primary engineering goals have remained the same the bearing assembly must be very rigid, resonance free, temperature stable and free from play whilst maintaining extremely low levels of friction. Note that all items valued over $500 will require a signature upon delivery.“ DESIGN FOCUS ON THE EKOS SE BEARING HOUSING In the development of the Ekos SE virtually every component has changed, however we will focus on the bearing housing. When factory packaging not available re-usable shipping box with custom injected-foam mold will be used. Items with factory packaging will be double boxed. For all other locations including Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Alaska, please request a quote prior to purchase. Shipping: Cost to ship this item within the contiguous United States is a flat rate of $55 - including packaging and insurance. These materials include a machined titanium arm tube to reduce resonance within the arm and a stainless steel bearing housing which helps reduce unwanted tonearm movements." - Overture Audio Kore follows the same design strategy as Keel, removing screws and increasing rigidity, with the armboard machined from solid aluminium and a multi-layer, bonded construction subchassis to which.
"Setting a new performance benchmark, Ekos SE features advanced materials carefully selected for their mechanical properties, low resonance characteristics and ultimate sound performance, to extract even more music from your vinyl collection. Kore machined subchassis for LP12 is a huge upgrade on the traditional 3-piece assembly of standard subchassis, armboard and armboard collar and significantly more affordable than the reference Keel.
Other Notes: At the time of this listing we have one Linn Kandid cartridge in stock, a recommended match for this tonearm.
