Experiences With The Ikeda Arms?


Anyone have thoughts about the newest generation Ikeda arms? I am looking at the IT-345 CR-1 for my SOTA. I spoke with them and they say a reduced weight armband can be built to install this arm.

As I understand it the earlier Ikeda arms were a continuation and refinement of the Fidelity Research arms. Does this story still hold true for these new generation ones? 
Any thoughts or experiences you have to share would be appreciated.

Neon, if you run the FR64S, I highly recommend both the B60 and an arm board that has good energy dissipation. The B60 and the board help with mass damping. Properly set up, the FR64S can be very good.

@rauliruegas It appears you have difficulty being civil, it would be just best if you avoided my threads then. Please don't play the "what did I do" charade, I have seen this scenario play out many times over the years. Quite simply you are rude and do not foster much good will on this board. From my perspective it seems to have gotten much worse lately. 

I have an opportunity to improve one of my tables, and so I am gathering information. I find it interesting that your perspective runs counter to most other owners postings. Anyways, have a good deal and please be courteous to stay out of any thread I start. It is a shame this site does not have an ignore feature. 

@neonknight  : Sorry but the forums are free for any one can post.

 

Btw, what in my two posts in this thread you did not like it. What and why? because I can't see nothing agressive against you in those posts, so your explanation is appreciated.

Dear @jperry : I just was looking your virtual system and was surprised that at very first sight I look a Luxman phonolinepreamp that I owned ( truly similar all unit exterior face plate and the wood box. ) the C 5000-A but reading in your site I read that only those is the similar between your unit and the one I owned because the C 5000-A is an all SS against your all tube design. Btw, the Suts in the C5000-A are stand alone plug-in external items and were silver wired and with gold connectors ( a beauty ) and like your unit very high quality, even those stand alone Suts Luxman offered in the market and if I remember models were 8020 and 8030. If I remember too one Agoner audiophile I think owned the C5000-A and is @theophile ( I think ? ).
