It features an aluminium cantilever and an elliptical stylus, delivering an open and transparent sound with good dynamics, low distortion, and strong crosstalk performance (typically around -30 dB). Often considered a hidden gem among vintage cartridges, it compares favourably with many modern designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a low-output moving coil cartridge and requires an MC phono stage or step-up transformer (recommended load of 100Ω or higher). Additional gain may be required when used with a standard MM phono pre-amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis cartridge and stylus have been used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis setup has been tested, is working well, and sounds great.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note the cantilever shows some dents.
