Hi-Fi News
Award Winner 2005

Roksan Radius 5 and Nima both won the Hi-Fi News Awards for 2005.


Hi-Fi News on Nima: "The simple high-performance arm fitted to the Radius 5 is also available separately, a lightweight unipivot with acrylic headshell and a flexible PCB for internal wiring."

Nima unipivot tone-arm

Combining solid aluminium alloy tubing, stainless steel alloy and polished acrylic this remarkable arm is made of no less than ten individual precision machined components meticulously hand assembled.

NIMA does not have standard internal wiring, therefore to transmit the signal from the cartridge the same flat printed circuit board cable developed for our top of the range Artemiz arm is employed.

The unique design of the transit locking mechanism of the bearing assembly not only provides a safe transportation method but also avoids damage if the arm is accidentally lifted off its bearing.

The counterweight is decoupled and designed to mount off-centre thus allowing easy Azimuth correction.

Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA) adjustment provides optimum alignment for almost any cartridge.

The combination of polished acrylic headshell, silver anodised aluminium tubing and mirror chromed counterweight enhances NIMA's looks and conveys the true lightness and neutrality of this very special arm.

The Nima has a brilliantly natural, cohesive sound reproduction and in conjunction with the Radius 5 and a good cartridge such as the Roksan Corus produces a vast panoramic sound with plenty of clarity and punch.
