Commentary
Plug-in connector type MM cartridge that uses pure boron pipe cantilever.
The cantilever uses an original pure boron cantilever refined only with pure boron. Combined with the original bridge yoke structure, the effective mass of the vibrator of 0.149 mg is obtained, and high resonance frequencies are excluded from the range of audibility.
High-frequency characteristics have been improved by adopting an HPF core with transmission characteristics up to approximately 70 kHz for all magnetic circuits.
Adapter for conventional head shell is included.
