Page 5: How To Use
How to Use: Mounting on tonearm a) The MusiKraft can be mounted on any commercially available universal tonearm or headshell built to ½” EIA standards. In order to obtain the best performance from the cartridge, it is important to select a well constructed medium to high mass (10g or more) tonearm, and a solid headshell which both offers good performance. - Page 6 The output voltages are 0.35 mV (Nitro1) and 0.30mV (Nitro2). Since these are low relative to an MM type cartridge, your system must have a MC phono input or you will either need a MC head amp or a step-up transformer (SUT).

- Page 9 Be rigorous, this is fine-tuning at its best. You will notice that the fine cartridge generator is very sensitive to its surrounding Audio MusiKraft shell tuning combinations. During your A/B comparisons, do not change the volume position, find a comfortable level from start and leave it as is. Changing it will impact your perception.
