They build upon, enhance \u0026amp; refine the sonic character that listeners worldwide have enjoyed for decades. New innovation in cartridge design addresses the problem of resonance, the things that need to happen around a generator to voice a cartridge with honesty. The housing thusly disperses \u0026amp; dissipates resonance, making way for effortless, transparent sonics that are enlivened with intimate nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe voicing is true to natural harmonics, space around voices \u0026amp; instruments as well as their attack \u0026amp; decay.
