As an Aro user, this is an interesting new arm. Looking forward to some reviews / feedback on how it sounds.

As a potential user who doesn't know the technicalities of manufacture and materials, my first question is; what justifies it being 3 times the price of a Roksan Nima?
I would say the level of design and qualty of finish is equal on the Javelin, in fact I prefer it to the rather 'bling' standard finish on the DP6.Ok, but now a much more difficult question. What can justify it being more expensive than a Morch DP6. I can clearly see the exquisite level of craft and technical detail that has gone in to the production of the Morch, and I've heard how that translates into superb performance with different cartridges. That is around £1600.
there is no doubt tough, where the inspiration came from.
Well, I'm an Naim Aro fan; in fact that would be an understatement, because I have two of them! I'm not a fan of the Nima to be honest and when I looked at the photograph of the Javelin in the opening post, I immediately took it to be a straight Aro rip. However, I just read what I assumed to be salesman spiel on the Tigerpaw site and I can see that a lot of thought has been put into the design; there is no doubt tough, where the inspiration came from.
...when a new Akito is £1630!
You have to be kidding! Seriously? I always considered it a sub-RB300 arm.
