Products - Analog - Phono Cartridge - Moving Coil (MC) Cartridge
 
Product Brand : Vertere Acoustics
Product Name : Mystic MC cartridge
Product Genre : Analog
Condition : NEW
Description:

Vertere Acoustics is best known for its extreme high-end designs loved by audiophiles worldwide.

The Reference RG-1 Record Player and the Reference Tonearm compete on equal terms with the world’s best.

The more affordable but revolutionary DG-1 Dynamic Groove Record Player was launched, to much acclaim, at the international High End Hi-Fi show in Munich.

Unlike the DG-1 the Mystic Moving Cartridge is not revolutionary – no wheels have been reinvented the Mystic is a combination of experience, common sense, science and a little art.

And of course a rather fetching sapphire blue anodised finish.

Once the decision has been made on the motor system depending on the target market and to a small extent personal predilection, the key to designing – for all but the most extreme of high end

cartridges – is to balance the design parameters: to deliver a cartridge that stays in the groove, retrieves the maximum musical information and is least affected by old or damaged records.

There are of course extremes in the world of hi-fi – extremes where the designer optimises one parameter almost to the exclusion of others  and these products are often the most talked about as

they are loved or detested in spades.

But this is not the Touraj way: he doesn’t want a system that favours closed miked jazz over rock or symphonic over punk.

He wants a system that allows most records in a collection to be played and enjoyed In his view a hi-fi enthusiast with a small record collection just does not have the right system yet.

When Vertere launched the DG-1 Touraj said: “The job of a record player is very simple, and very linear it has to allow the most accurate measurement of a something going past the stylus and

throwing it from side to side over 1000 times every centimetre.”

The situation hasn’t changed except in this story the focus is the cartridge including the cantilever and diamond stylus which is the part that’s actually being thrown about over 1000 times every centimetre of record travel.

The Mystic Moving Coil in bullets

• The body is machined from solid aluminium alloy

• The body is mass-tuned to the generator for optimum support and control of unwanted mechanical vibrations

• Threaded body to accept the supplied stainless steel thumb screws for correct coupling of the cartridge body to the tonearm headshell

• Three specifically designed contact points are machined into the top of the body that provide the exact mechanical coupling required.

• Alignment ridge on the front top that assists mounting Mystic to any Vertere tonearm

• The low mass generator utilises a Samarium-Cobalt magnet with a low-mass cross coil made of pure virgin copper wires

• The aluminium 7000 telescopic tube cantilever maximises stiffness without a massive high Q peak

• Micro Elliptical diamond stylus tip that is designed for maximum tracking ability without compromising the high frequency response or increasing surface noise

• Bonded through diamond assembly maximises alignment and rigidity

• Wide band frequency response of below 10Hz to 40kHz

• Output of 0.5mV will provide a lifelike dynamic range with depth and precision
