A "Fine Line" Stylus Designed for Playback Fineness

This replacement stylus is built around an extra fine naked tip of the "Fine Line" type, a choice recognized for enhancing playback precision and micro-detail reproduction. Its Line Contact profile maximizes the effective contact surface within the groove, which helps achieve cleaner, more consistent, and more faithful playback, especially on pressings rich in dynamics.

For Which DJs and Vinyl Setups?

This model is aimed at DJs and audiophiles who prioritize sound quality and playback stability: home studios, hi-fi systems, lounge bars, long-format sets, and any setup where detailed listening is sought. Thanks to its tracking force range of 1.6 to 2.0 g, it allows fine adjustment depending on the tonearm and cartridge, while remaining easy to optimize.

Tracking Settings and Performance: Precision and Control

With a tracking capability of 70 µm (at 315 Hz, with the recommended tracking force) and a lateral dynamic compliance of 16 µm/mN, this stylus aims for a good balance between precision and groove holding. The recommended tracking force setting of 1.8 g (18 mN) and a stylus rake angle of 20 degrees contribute to consistent playback while maintaining a linear frequency response rated at 20-20,000 Hz +2 / -0 dB.
