Description
Nude Shibata Stylus
The nude Shibata stylus paired with a boron cantilever accurately tracks record grooves, delivering rich, full-range audio with exceptional detail, high transient response, and precise musical reproduction.
Pure, Low-Distortion Sound
The dual moving coil design with PCOCC copper coils, neodymium magnet, and premium permendur yoke provides excellent channel separation, clean signal transfer, increased magnetic energy, and reduced distortion.
- Dual Moving Coil design, featuring independent coils for both left and right channels, provides outstanding channel separation.
- The coils are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation, which exerts less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion.
- The cartridge body is pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted onto the headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required.
- Features nude Shibata stylus and boron cantilever for rich full-range audio reproduction and high transient response.
- A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke provide dramatically increased magnetic energy.
- Aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio reproduction.
- Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve pure signal transfer
