The XSV/3000 is the source of perfection in stereo sound!
Four big features ... all Pickering innovations over the past 20 years ... have made it happen.
1976: Stereohedron®: This patented Stylus tip assures super traceAbility, and its larger bearing radius offers the least record wear and longest stylus life so far achievable.
1975: High Energy Rare Earth Magnet: Another Pickering innovation, enabling complete miniaturization of the stylus assembly and tip mass through utilization of this type of magnet.
1968: Dustamatic® Brush: This Pickering patented invention dynamic ally stabilizes the cartridge-arm system by damping low frequency resonance. It improves low frequency tracking while playing irregular or warped records. Best of all, it provides record protection by cleaning in front of the stylus.
1959: Record Static Neutralizer:
The patented V-Guard Record Static Neutralizer has been a feature of all Pickering cartridges since 1959. It eliminates electrostatic dust attraction at the stylus and discharges record static harmlessly into the grounded playback system.
