The Javelin looks great and the fact it is a drop in replacement for Linn arms is the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work, we need more small companies offering products like this!

Funnily enough they sold less than 1200 in total! Howvere they did have trouble sourcing parts and demand did not encourage them to get another batch made.As a matter of interest, why did Naim discontinue the ARO?
Not for lack of demand, I'm sure.
Who is the designer; what is their history?
The same questions were asked about Peter Walker back in the 1960's I suspect.
Looks very nice. Anyone looking at an Akurate level LP12 will surely have to give this a serious listen when a new Akito is £1630!
The Akito was the biggest con in audio history. I bought an Akito 1 for around £160 around 1992. It was then considered pretty much the equivalent of an RB250, though with different applications. It was nicely made and finished and easy to set up and use, but hardly special.
When Linn decided to drop the Ittok, which was no doubt rather expensive to produce.. c.f the Akito, they simply changed the paint finish on the Akito, claimed better bearings and whacked the price up to £500.
Does anyone really buy it at £1630?
Interested to know which arm you bought which was better.I sold my Ittok LV3Mk2 for £800 on eBay and bought a better arm for the same money.
