This Line Contact type stylus distinguishes itself by having a narrow and long contact surface, which is as close as possible to the original cutting stylus. This ensures the most accurate reproduction, lowest distortion, and extended frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe quest for accuracy and authenticity\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDriven by our core passion for engineering, innovation, and craftsmanship, everything we do is rooted in a desire to create the world's best phonograph cartridges, so that you can do more than just listen to the music you love.

This feature allows for optimal interaction between compliance and damping, improved stability and playback, and unparalleled sound quality. Created using a new rubber compound that utilizes Multi Wall Carbon Nanotube technology (MWCNT), this new rubber suspension provides improved damping and enhances the overall performance of the MC Diamond Cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe MC Diamond uses a solid Diamond Cantilever that, in combination with the Ortofon Replicant 100 diamond, offers extreme transparency, speed, and responsiveness beyond any other combination. A solid Diamond cantilever provides the best possible interface between the stylus and armature, owing to its hardness and crystal structure. The improvements found in the use of a Diamond cantilever have redefined the boundaries of analog reproduction, presenting greater inner detail, subtlety, and depth like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnet system and cartridge body\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe MC Diamond’s magnet system combines choice materials, optimized geometry, and unrivaled consistency that deliver unmatched performance.
