The E4 cartridge boasts a 'nude' super-elliptical stylus measuring only 7.6 x 18 microns (0.3 x 0.7 mil). Carved and polished from a single diamond piece, this design results in reduced effective tip mass, increased rigidity, and significantly improved high-frequency detail retrieval compared to 'bonded' elliptical stylus alternatives. The refined 7.6-micron profile ensures accurate tracking of high-frequency groove modulations, providing lower distortion, enhanced transient response, and a flat frequency response for unrivaled fidelity. Advanced super-elliptical nude diamond stylus offers reduced effective tip mass, enhanced rigidity, and superior high-frequency detail retrieval compared to 'bonded' elliptical alternatives. Hollow aluminum cantilever combines lightweight design with superior stiffness, enabling accurate tracing of medium-to-high frequencies. Magnetic Duplex Technology™ ensures precise stereo groove transcription for an improved soundstage. Expert adjustment feature enables micro-adjustments during production, guaranteeing optimal channel balance and crosstalk settings.
