Takumi
The essence of Takumi is to gain a sublime understanding of the nuances of a particular art. To be focused and spend countless hours on one thing, and to carry on. It requires one to empty the mind and focus in a way that is simply not possible when still acquiring a skill.

ABOUT RIK STOET
Od najmłodszych lat audio było częścią mojego życia. Dorastałem z dziadkiem, który był powszechnie znany ze swojej fabryki transformatorów, słynącej z produkcji wysokiej jakości produktów dedykowanych do zastosowań audio takich jak wzmacniacze lampowe. W niedziele zapraszał mnie do swojego świata, pokazując mi swoją pracę i wprowadzając mnie w podstawy elektroniki. Byłem jeszcze zbyt młody, aby to wszystko pojąć, ale fascynacja pozostała.
Years later, I pursued Electrical Engineering and, in 1993, founded my own company: Rik Stoet Audio. My first products were tube amplifiers, released under the brand names Heart and StoetKit. Over the years, this journey led to many more products. Our tube amplifiers and tube CD players found their way into many Dutch homes, while the Marantz “tubed-by-Heart” CD players even reached the United States.
About ten years ago, I turned my attention to a new challenge and designed my first turntable — the Takumi.
The very first Takumi made use of a few third-party components. It was a smart, straightforward design — simple in form, but with impressive sound quality. The limited run of one hundred units quickly sold out in the Netherlands.
Encouraged by that success, I knew I wanted to continue. But this time, my goal was clear: to create a turntable that not only sounded even better, but also had a refined appearance — all while remaining reasonably priced.
That decision marked the beginning of the Takumi journey. It was the moment this turntable was truly born — and from then on, Takumi became my passion.

That is possible with the Takumi TT level 2.1DC, a turntable that out performs much more expensive players with ease. So, what are you waiting for?
