All cartridges are not created equal. Here's proof.
"Tracking ability at low and middle frequencies was exceptional...the high level required half the tracking force of most other cartridges ... One of the best 2-channel stereo cartridges and better than most CD-4 types."
- HI-FI NEWS AND RECORD REVIEW
Our new Super XLM MK II ($125.) is the finest cartridge available. It was engineered solely for the true audiophile and the serious music listener who own the very finest components.
It embodies principles found in no other cartridges, as evidenced by our U.S. Patent. It features a unique "induced magnet" whereby the magnet is fixed and the magnetism is induced into a tiny hollow soft-iron collar. This collar in turn moves between the pole pieces thereby allowing for a major reduction in the mass of the moving system. This LOW MASS permits the Shibata type stylus to trace the most intricate modulations of stereo and CD-4 record grooves with a feather-light tracking force--as low as 3/4 of a gram.
This results in super-linear pick up especially at the higher frequencies of the audible spectrum, which other cartridges either distort or fail to pick up at all. This low tracking force also assures minimal erosion and a longer playing life for the records.
This family of LOW MASS Cartridges is also offered with elliptical diamond stylus for stereo play exclusively--the XLM MK II ($100) and VLM MK II ($75).
