A High-End Stylus Designed to Exploit the Full Potential of OM Cartridges

This replacement diamond is intended for users who want to maintain the sonic signature and performance of a high-level OM cartridge while restoring "like-new" playback. Its Fritz Gyger FG 70 profile, renowned for its finesse, aims for a more complete groove reading with reduced distortion and a better-defined soundstage.

For Whom and What Uses?

Ideal for demanding vinyl enthusiasts, audiophiles, and listening-oriented DJs (home studio, hi-fi living room, archiving, and digitization). Thanks to its high tracking ability and compliance, it adapts very well to carefully set-up turntables: alignment, tracking force, and stylus angle are key to getting the most out of it, whether on recent pressings or more delicate records.

Features and Innovations

The Line Contact FG 70 profile is designed to improve reading finesse, especially in the high frequencies, while limiting surface noise when properly adjusted. The tracking force range (1.25 to 1.75 g) allows behavior adjustment depending on the tonearm and record condition, with a recommended value of 1.5 g. The stylus features an r/R radius of 5/70 µm and a 20-degree stylus angle, ensuring geometry consistent with the announced compatible cartridges.
