Accurate control of VTF (Vertical Tracking Force) by control knob.Damped cueing device operating just as it should.The arm has the benefit of an internal rewire by Audio Origami with flying leads in place of the plug/pins meaning that no wire ‘jumpers’ are needed when fitting standard fit cartridges. The headshell slots have not been ‘chewed’ but the paint has been lost from the bottom of the slots (inked in in black to make this less obvious). It has marks in the usual place on the arm pillar when the arm collar grub screw tightens (see picture) which are hidden when the arm is fitted. Condition: This arm has Serial Number 6997, and as far as I know had two owners prior to me taking it in part exchange. Externally, the differences are that the arm pillar has no vertical ‘slot’ on the side where the arm collar grub screw locks it in position. The Ekos 2 differs from the Ekos 1 in that it has improved bearings & changes to the Vertical Tracking Force mechanism that prevent the (stiffness) problems that sometimes occurred with the Mark 1 model. Ekos arms made after serial number 6200 are Mk2 models. Performance in terms of sound quality is a step change up from the already excellent Ittok. The Ekos 2 looks as well as it performs in it’s black finish and even has clever engineering touches such as a cueing device that has damped operation in both 'lower' AND 'lift' directions. Please see: The Ekos 2 is the arm that most LP12 owners aspire to, providing a superb platform for high end Moving Coil cartridges.
