A Stylus Designed to Upgrade Without Changing the Entire Cartridge

This elliptical diamond is aimed at those who want to keep the body of their compatible cartridge while getting a new, precise, and consistent tip. It is an ideal solution to restore clarity to a turntable, reduce distortion at the end of a side, and protect your records with properly adjusted tracking force.

Intended Uses and Profiles

Perfect for vinyl enthusiasts, hi-fi setups, and DJs who prioritize listening, recording, or smooth mixes rather than intensive scratching. In a home studio, it is well suited for digitizing records thanks to its detailed playback and good tracking ability when properly aligned.

Features and Innovations

The elliptical profile (radius r/R 8/18 µm) improves contact with the groove, which enhances instrument definition and separation. The lateral dynamic compliance of 25 µm/mN contributes to smoother playback, while the specified tracking capability of 70 µm (315 Hz, recommended force) helps reduce the risk of skipping on demanding passages. For optimal results, set the tracking force to 1.5 g (15 mN) and check the 20-degree stylus angle according to your tonearm settings.
