Product info
This hand-built cartridge uses the acclaimed Gyger II nude diamond stylus. A fine-line elliptical type with a 6 m small radius gives smooth extended highs low distortion and reproduces a highly detailed and dynamic sound. Advanced diamond tip polishing ensures excellent tracking ability and reduces record wear. Because it fills the record groove more completely due to its larger major radius the Gyger II represents a major upgrade over normal elliptical stylus types. Low Mass Pocan Body The 1000 series uses a strong one-piece body that holds the fixed parts securely in place. Made from a special type of ultra-rigid glass-reinforced polyester called Pocan the body can be tightly bolted to the headshell for maximum efficiency and optimum sound quality. The user-replaceable stylus carrier slots tightly into the body with a locating pin preventing unwanted vibrations which would otherwise color the sound. Integral mu-metal can keep the generator parts shielded from hum-inducing stray magnetic fields. Because Pocan has a high strength-to-mass ratio the overall mass of the G1000 series cartridges is kept below 6.5 g. Low mass and moderate compliance keep the natural arm/cartridge resonance within safe limits for easy matching to a wide range of tonearms. High-Efficiency Magnetic Circuit Finely etched mu-metal is laminated to form the pole pieces around which are fitted two formless coils of four thousand turns each. This unique design reduces mass and also makes for a very efficient magnetic circuit producing a higher than average output. This construction also reduces the loss at high frequencies inherent in conventional designs making for smooth and extended frequency response. Reduced Moving Mass The 1000 series uses a unique ultra-low-mass micro-miniature Alnico V magnet made to a tolerance that can be achieved by no other manufacturer worldwide. Welded to the magnet is a gold-plated nickel tie-bar which provides an earth path for vinyl static charge build-up and stabilizes the cantilever in unwanted vibrational modes. The whole ultra-low-mass assembly is then mounted in a special butyl rubber polymer with optimized damping characteristics. Expert Adjustment The correct setting of stylus azimuth (or horizontal tracking angle) is essential for the maintenance of a proper stereo sound stage. Azimuth is the term used to describe the angle that the vertical center-line of the stylus makes with the record surface and this must be exactly perpendicular to the record groove. This is not usually a user-adjustable parameter on most budget decks and so it is vital that the cartridge leaves the factory with the azimuth precisely set. Badly adjusted azimuth can cause uneven channel balance and increased crosstalk between channels which would severely degrade the stereo image.
