Technical concept:
The Kin employs a ruby cantilever for superior rigidity and low resonance, paired with the same fine-elliptical stylus geometry as the Shiro. It represents a step toward the most refined mechanical precision.
Behaviour & character:
The ruby cantilever gives the Kin its distinct sense of calm precision. Low-level dynamics are clearly rendered, with black backgrounds and well-defined spatial cues. The soundstage opens wider, bass lines gain grip, and high frequencies display a clean, silken texture. The Kin is both analytical and musical — revealing yet never clinical.
