LP Tunes iMAGE PHONO CARTRIDGE

The LP Tunes iMAGE phono cartridge offers higher fidelity sound quality for popular USB turntables such as ion and Numark. We've improved its performance by using a special conical diamond stylus bonded to a thin wall Zualum cantilever that traces a precise image of the grooves thus resulting in better sound quality with more atmosphere and clarity. This is in fact the signature and theme of the iMAGE series. It's a fine sound that elevates and soothes.

As in other series within the LP Tunes magnetic phono cartridge range, your investment in an entry level cartridge does not become obsolete. When your appreciation of music and critical listening develop and your demands for sophisticated electronics grow, you can easily and sensibly upgrade performance by simply installing a better stylus within the series.

For those seeking better sound quality and musical redemption from their USB turntable for recording and listening, the LP Tunes iMAGE phono cartridge offers upliftment.

GRADO REFERENCE PLATINUM 1 PLATINUM1 PHONO CARTRIDGE

The newly redesigned Grado Platinum 1 cartridge offers four improvements over its predecessor. The coil design has been reconfigured. The size of the coils were reduced, cutting back on the number of turns, for improved sound quality. Grado Labs has developed a new process of potting the coils which helps control internal resonance in the coils which then lowers the noise floor even more than before. Also, the effective moving mass of their generating system has been reduced by 17%, thus allowing for a quicker and more accurate reproduction of music. All this is hand-assembled within a machined, new processed, Australian Jarrah wood housing. The wood enclosure has been changed from Mahogany to Australian Jarrah, which is a much harder and denser, thus adding greater stability to the cartridge as a generating device.
