Description

This is a cartridge for the audiophile who demands the ultimate sonic performance from their system, together with the convenience of a user replaceable stylus. The 1042 uses a nude, natural-diamond stylus with a Gyger S profile. This is a revolutionary line-contact type which is shaped to more closely resemble the record cutting head than any previous design. The stylus profile is the main factor governing overall sound quality in a cartridge and the shape of the Gyger S with its 6 µm radius allows it to trace the smallest groove detail with complete fidelity. Mid-range tonality is incredibly accurate and precise with high frequency sibilance banished. The extended side wall contact of the Gyger-S diamond also gives the 1042 unsurpassed resolution of the fine groove modulations, producing an exceptionally detailed, smooth and musical sound.

Frequency Response: 20 Hz-20 kHz +/- 3 dB Channel Balance: within 2 dB @ 1 kHz Channel Separation: better than 25 dB @ 1 kHz Sensitivity: 6.5 mV +/-1.5 dB, 1 kHz @ 5 cm/sec Static Compliance: 24 mm/N (lat); 16 mm/N (vert) Equivalent tip mass: 0.45 mg Vertical Tracking Angle: 24 ° Stylus Profile: Gyger S Stylus Type: Replaceable Load Resistance: 47 kΩ Load Capacitance: 150-200 pF Internal Inductance: 570 mH Internal Resistance: 660 Ω Cartridge Mass: 6.3 g Cartridge Mass (inc. fixings): 7.6 g Fixing Centre: 0.5" (12.7 mm) Playing Weight: 1.5 - 2.0 g (1.7 g nom.)
