A solid Diamond cantilever provides the best possible interface between the stylus and armature, owing to its hardness and crystal structure. The improvements found in the use of a Diamond cantilever have redefined the boundaries of analog reproduction, presenting greater inner detail, subtlety, and depth like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoundless dimensionality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMagnet system and cartridge body\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC Diamond’s magnet system combines choice materials, optimized geometry, and unrivaled consistency that deliver unmatched performance.
