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. In the development of the Ekos SE virtually every component has changed, however we will focus on the bearing housing. 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.Įvery Ekos SE tonearm is built to last using the latest manufacturing techniques and handcrafted to the highest quality standard, so that you can continue to enjoy your vinyl collection for decades to come.Įkos SE also comes with T-Kable, Linn’s low-loss cable which protects the audio signal the audio signal in transmission to the pre-amplifier, getting you even closer to the original recording.ĭESIGN FOCUS ON THE EKOS SE BEARING HOUSING 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. Ekos SE is Linn’s flagship tonearm, designed to nurture your vinyl and extract the maximum information from your cherished vinyl collection.
