Hello!
We just celebrated the New Year, and February is just around the corner.
How are you all doing as the cold days continue every day?
Today we are pleased to announce that IKEDA Sound Labs. products will be featured in a magazine.
IT-407SS set in TAS-SSA
Comparison test between the entry model 9TS and the flagship model Akiko
The title of this article is
Listening to the 2025 Best Recordings with a high-end tonearm
It has become!
We visited Professor Ishihara's listening room and set it up.
This time, we were using the long-arm IT-407SS, so we prepared the independent tone arm base TAS-SSA and set it up from the side.
You can also use the IST-201 step-up transformer.
We were able to listen to this excellent album in an environment where we could fully enjoy IKEDA Sound Labs.!
The 2025 Best Recordings featured in this article
The MC cartridge that will play the best jazz recordings of 2025
IKEDA Sound Labs.'s entry-level model, the 9TS.
And then there are the two flagship Akiko models, which use diamond cantilevers.
What's extravagant this time is that Akiko used two types of headshells.
I don't think many customers have tried this comparison.
It is written in beautiful, easy-to-read sentences about how each of them resonated.
I hope you will pick up this magazine and check it out.
Professor Shun Ishihara and IKEDA Sound Labs.
So everyone, don't give in to the cold or the snow.
Enjoy a wonderful analog audio life!
