BEFORE USING
1 The stylus is very delicate and applying excessive
force to the stylus, such as finger pressure, can
result in damages. Handle the cartridge with the
utmost care.
2 A powerful magnet is used in the cartridge.
Operating steel/magnetic tools or similar items
near the cartridge will exert a force on the
magnet and may result in damages to the stylus
and the cartridge.
TUSCANY
The Tuscany is our finest MC phono cartridge, the
result of 25 years of experience in designing high-
performance audio solutions - it marks the pinnacle
of vinyl reproduction for uncompromised listening
pleasure.
At the core of the Tuscany is the extra-thin Micro Ridge
diamond developed in collaboration with Adamant-
Namiki, the world's best diamond manufacturer. The
multiple faces of this special cut allow the diamond tip
to track the vinyl groove precisely extracting even the
most delicate music details from the record.
The diamond is borne by a telescopic cantilever made
of Boron and supported by a Titanium micro-pipe,
finely machined into 4 spokes where the micro-coils
are located along with a Teflon spacer that ensures the
highest level of alignment and accuracy. Such a unique
solution increases the tracking ability of the Tuscany,
providing ideal rigidity to the structure. The Tuscany
also benefits from the special design of the cantilever
suspension, made of elastic non-deformable harmonic
steel that's firmly locked in position by a gold-plated nut.
Completing the design of the Tuscany, the body is
designed to offer structural rigidity and precise VTA
adjustments - made of 7050 Aluminum alloy injected
with fluid polymers, it provides the ideal damping effect.
On top of that, the gold-plated pin connectors provide
the perfect surface of contact with the arm cinches,
guaranteeing the purity of the audio signal and better
grounding.
The Tuscany features micro-coils made of pure silver on
the Gold, copper on the Red, and precisely wrapped
by hand.
