PLAY IT LIKE IT IS.
THE OSAWA HIGH PERFORMANCE PHONO GROUP.
Nobody can improve the basic sound quality of a record as you buy it or as it is in your record collection. Neither you, nor we. But what you can do is to make certain that all the components of your record playing system-the phono cartridge, tone-arm and turntable-perform with maximum accuracy and an absolute minimum of noise. With Osawa's High Performance Phono Group, you'll hear all the music on the record, clearly and with nothing added.
Start with one of six SATIN MOVING COIL CARTRIDGES, intended for the most discriminating listeners. In addition to the brilliant clarity and exceptional sensitivity to every part of the groove, Satin MC cartridges offer you two special bonuses. Unlike many MC's, Satin cartridges work without a pre-pre amplifier or transformer which can degrade sound quality. And the stylus is user-replaceable.
The new OSAWA HIGH PER FORMANCE SERIES CARTRIDGES are uniquely constructed with extremely low mass and the most precise tracking possible for excel lent reproduction.
At a more modest price are Osawa’s unique new MP MOVING PERMALLOY CARTRIDGES. Each is factory hand-adjusted with an alignment screw, so every cartridge and stylus match perfectly for optimum performance.
There is an Osawa cartridge for every budget. And you can even buy your cartridge conveniently pre-mounted in an Osawa Headshell for instant plug-in installation.
To bring out the best performance in any cartridge, you need a precision tonearm. Winner of the Consumer Electronics Design and Engineering Award and the Japan Audio Award, the Osawa ULTRA-CRAFT TONEARM features inter changeable arm stems (lowering effective mass), single-point suspension (minimizing bearing friction) and a tunable damping system (optimizing the match with cartridge compliance), and comes in silver or black anodized brass.
And for top turntable performance, you can't beat the Scottish-built ARISTON RD11S from Osawa.
Outstandingly designed for precision operation, it offers a remark ably quiet -80dB rumble rating, with wow and flutter less than 0.05%. Mounted in a handsome teak or walnut cabinet, the RD11S is specially isolated from floor shocks by a unique silicone-damped suspension system.
Finally, to improve the performance of any turntable, Osawa offers the critically-acclaimed DISKMAT. Designed to replace existing turntable mats, the Diskmat provides optimally-contoured record support, while its high-mass, high-density construction immunizes your records from the vibrations that can muddy bass, and lessens wow, flutter and feedback.
