IKEDA 9 TT: Revised User Guide
August 09, 2012
IT Industry Co., Ltd.
(Without headshell)
 The newest Ikeda 9TT is specially designed and developed with the
concept that a cartridge should be more easy to handle, by inherting the
charactristics of competent ability for the sonorous expression power
attained with the former cantileverless IKEDA 9 series cartridges.
 The body unit is made of a solid aluminum alloy by lathing a piece of
aluminum alloy precisely one by one in order to hold the generator unit
firmly.
 The cantilever is made of a double layered duralmin pipe in order to
reduce its actual weight and possible warping affecting the sound badly,
in addition to gaining a stiffness.
 The sound sources picked up by the line contact architecture of the
stylus chip will be precisely delivered to the magnetic coils. In
addition, thanks to the highly efficient Permalloy core, low impedance
coils, very strong neodymium magnet and an ideally shaped magnet
yoke, it is possible to purely reproduce the sound without having any
redundant coloring of sound.
 In order to pick up the hidden sound elements and a glamor of sounds
itself engraved on LPs/SPs in addition to the fulfillment for various
conditions required for the best phono cartridge as a reproducing device,
we always spend a plenty of time to fabricate and then make an
alignment repeatedly.

We do hope you will be able to enjoy the wonderful world for
analog musics with IKEDA 9TT.
