Commentary
Titanium Boride (TiB2Shell-integrated MM type cartridge with cantilever.
The cantilever is made of titanium boride, which has a large elastic modulus (hard), so that the ultra-high frequency characteristics are extended and the mechanical impedance is also kept low.
The magnetic circuit uses a mirror-polished HPF core for all magnetic materials such as pole pieces and yokes to obtain excellent transmission characteristics.
In addition, the left and right channels are completely separated in the HPF magnetic circuit, and symmetrical arrangement is realized, so that the imbalance between the channels of various characteristics is reduced.
Uses a one point suspension system that uses a disc-shaped samarium-cobalt magnet.
