The moving coil replacement from Stanton Magnetics ... the revolutionary 980LZS!
Now from the company to whom the professionals look for setting standards in audio equipment comes a spectacular new cartridge concept. A low impedance pickup that offers all the advantages of a moving magnet cartridge without the disadvantages of the moving coil pickup. At the same time it offers exceedingly fast rise time--less than 10 micro seconds--resulting in dramatic new crispness in sound reproduction--a new "openness" surpassing that of even the best of moving coil designs. The 98OLZS incorporates very low dynamic tip mass (0.2 mg.) with extremely high compliance for superb tracking.
It tracks the most demanding of the new so called "test" digitally mastered and direct cut recordings with ease and smoothness at 1 gram ;' . The 980LZS features the famous Stereohedron (tm) stylus and a lightweight samarium cobalt super magnet. The output can be connected either into the moving coil input of a modern receiver's preamps or can be used with a pre-preamp, whose output is fed into the conventional phono input.
For "moving coil" audiophiles the 980LZS offers a new standard of consistency and reliability while maintaining all the sound characteristics even the most critical moving coil advocates demand. For moving magnet advocates the 980LZS provides one more level of sound experience while maintaining all the great sound characteristics of cleanliness and frequency response long associated with fine moving magnet assemblies.
