"IKEDA Akiko" is a special IKEDA 10th anniversary model that has been upgraded from the previous model by using high-quality materials in each part.

The base and case are made of titanium alloy. The surface of the titanium case is polished and then finished in pink gold.

The inner base is made of a special vibration-damping alloy with the highest vibration absorption capacity, and the coil wire is the first to use PCOCC wire in an IKEDA cartridge.

The power generation unit achieves high-quality playback performance with an excellent power generation unit consisting of a high-performance PC core, low impedance coil, ideally shaped magnet yoke, and neodymium magnet.

"IKEDA Akiko" uses a diamond cantilever and a micro-ridge stylus tip that accurately traces up to the ultra-high range, resulting in faster rise and fall response, clearer contours and positioning, and more vivid sound.
