What's Sao Win Up To?
Dr. Sao Zaw Win, the man who developed the strain-gauge cartridge, has now virtually perfected the moving coil cartridge with the introduction of his Megasonics MC-10.
It Features:
-A rectangular shaped (Vital) stylus with the exclusive Win Tip is used for the MC-10. This tip has electron bombarded super polished facets which prevent recutting of the record grooves in case of cartridge misalignment while retaining maximum groove contact.
--Diagram of Tip
-High-vacuum, electron bombardment of the tip guarantees polish to it to twice that of other styli for less friction and lower distortion.
-A super resistive strength aluminum cantilever is used for stiffness and lower specific gravity. It provides superior sonic qualities while being more cost effective than other sophisticated cantilever materials.
-The result of all this is an MC cartridge with extremely low noise, wide separation, excellent transient response and an improved sonic realism.
But don't take Dr. Win's word for it. Hear the MC-10 for yourself: write for the name of your nearest Megasonics dealer .
