It is with quite a proud feeling of satisfaction and excitement that we present the aiwon^©

(ancient greek "the eternal principle of play").

This is our statement regarding low output moving coil phono cartridge design.

It shares the same general architecture with it's smaller brother - the archon^©.

It however displays and incorporates a bundle of different improvements in most vital parts - some easy to spot, some very subtle and hidden - in micro design, material composition, individual fine-tuning and - ultimately ... - sonic performance.

The aiwon^© is the best example for what improvement is still possible in phono analog front-end sonic performance.

Possible only if all parameters are carefully fine-tuned.

Fine-tuned to thus create much more than the mere sum of the parts.

The aiwon^© is "old school" at its very finest.

A sonic performance second to none, - featuring a live-likeness, dynamic contrast, emotion expression and "you are there" character one has to hear to realize what was missing so far - missing in even the very best set-ups.

The aiwon^© is carefully handcrafted in Bavaria.

Each aiwon^© is handcrafted and carefully fine-tuned to ultimate performance by one person only.
