Introduction
With I.A.V.® products you enter a new dimension. I.A.V.® is the
new way of listening to music. I.A.V.® is a range of products of
prestigious and sophisticated Italian design featuring unique and
innovative technical and aesthetic characteristics. The materials used for
the I.A.V.® tonearms are of the highest quality, and they are
assembled and tested by hand, one by one. No photos or technical
descriptions can adequately convey the quality of the I.A.V.® tonearms.
The arm tubes of the I.A.V.® tonearms are made entirely from aluminium alloy of different densities and hardnesses,
polished and anodised to increase the structural rigidity. The “Bearing Fork”s are all made of stainless steel. The “Bearing
Fork” Towers are made of decoupled bronze, Anticorodal aluminium and brass, All the applied details are in Anticorodal
aluminium, PTFE and are CNC turned from solid blocks. The cables used for the internal wiring are in high-quality OFC OCC
Hyper Litz copper and are completely shielded with a steel sock inside the arm tube. The external cables, also shielded, are
specially made for I.A.V.® by Talisker® and enable the tonearm to achieve an extremely elevated performance.
In a word, the I.A.V.® range sets a new standard of reference in the tonearms category.
