Transfiguration Phoenix S Cartridge MC

SKU TRAN001 Categories , , ,

The Transfiguration Phoenix reveals the music in your record grooves with a pure, liquid, utterly transparent sound, as free from artificiality as mountain spring water.

Like all Transfiguration designs, the Phoenix incorporates an ultra-tight magnet coil coupling. The coils aren’t merely close; they’re literally inside the ring magnet, with coil-magnetic proximity of only a few thousandths of an inch. With dynamic mass minimised and coil saturation eliminated, Transfiguration cartridges maintain extremely fast and accurate response to groove movements.

The Temper features a boron cantilever, newly developed for a natural sound, a low-mass Ogura PA stylus tip, and pure silver coils.
