Whereas the Ekos, whilst based on the Ittock, is made in Scotland, hence the name (Ecosse = Scotland).:lolsign:

The question is does "Ittock" have a 'c' in it or not? ;)
Marco.
No!..... it's 'Ittok'.Quote:

Exactly! But some of our resident 'numpties' seem to want to keep adding a bloody 'c' :eyebrows:Quote:

Would not surprise me. Certainly if the Ittok:) was made by Mamiya, as Howard states, then Linn would be unlikely to better the quality.Quote:

No, just repeating what I thought was common knowledge when it came out. Can't find anything to substantiate the story at the moment, but it was definitely and demonstrably Japanese in origin. The giveaway is the Made In Japan legend on the back of the arm base! http://www.soundscapehifi.com/images/lp12-001-12.jpg
As for the cartridges, I'm pretty sure the MCs were Japanese, but I don't recall who made them. IIRC the K9 was made by Audio Technica.
