Comments of note:
“Its design is striking and evidently influenced by the facetting of gemstones, appropriately enough.”
“An elliptical-profile diamond is used and the generator assembly uses split-pole pins – these are part of the magnetic circuit and the idea is to improve extreme treble response, which is typically a weak point of moving magnets.”
“Ortofon cartridges are very informative and well extended at both frequency extremes and this one seems to fit that pattern. In fact the treble is notably clean and tidy, full of life without ever becoming strident or harsh.”
“We found tracking very confident across the recommend downforce range, so settled on the minimum, 1.6g.”
“It’s worth experimenting, because at best this is one of the most detailed cartridges we've come across at this kind of price.”
