A Replacement Stylus Designed for Demanding Playback
This Nu Elliptical type diamond follows a precision-oriented approach: a finer tip than a conical profile, designed to better fit the groove and improve sound reproduction, while remaining easy to adjust and use daily.
For Whom and What Uses?
Ideal for vinyl enthusiasts and DJs seeking clean playback and good tracking stability. Suitable for both hi-fi listening and sets in "real life" conditions (studio, bar, events), provided the tracking force is respected.
Features and Innovations
The nu elliptical profile promotes reading precision and reduces sibilance, while the tracking force range of 1.25-1.75 g allows optimization depending on the tonearm and cartridge. Its lateral compliance of 25 µm/mN and 20-degree tracking angle contribute to balanced and stable reproduction.
