Michell Cusis M Moving Coil Cartridge

Because this is a low-output moving coil cartridge with a 0.25mV output, you will need a phono stage that supports moving coil (MC) inputs. It is best paired with a high-quality preamp or step-up transformer capable of handling low-impedance loads.

The ultra-precise Microline stylus is designed to sit deeper in the record groove than standard elliptical tips. This allows it to extract more detail and high-frequency information while reducing overall record wear.

The 8.1g weight is considered standard and should balance well with the vast majority of modern tonearms. However, you should ensure your tonearm's counterweight can accommodate this mass and that your tracking force can be set accurately within the manufacturer's recommended range.

Boron is an exceptionally stiff and lightweight material, which helps minimize unwanted vibrations and resonance. This rigidity ensures that the stylus accurately tracks the groove, resulting in a more transparent and dynamic sound.

The carbon-loaded acrylic body is chosen for its excellent vibration-damping properties. By minimizing internal resonances, the housing ensures that the cartridge's internal components remain stable, leading to a cleaner and more focused audio signal.
