Commentary
MM cartridge with titanium pipe cantilever.
By combining a titanium pipe cantilever with special heat treatment, a high-energy rare-earth cobalt magnet, and a special diamond needle, a light-mass vibration system has been realized.
In addition, by adopting a single-end support system, the mechanical impedance in the high frequency range is kept low.
Resonance is reduced by adopting thick acrylic stylus knob and aluminum die-cast frame.
