ℹ Product Information
DS Audio Grand Master Extreme Cartridge
Dive into an immersive, second-to-none sound experience with the DS Audio Grand Master Extreme Cartridge. Expertly designed for the discerning audiophile, this masterpiece of engineering offers unparalleled sound accuracy stemming from its exceptionally challenging 0.22mm square one-piece diamond cantilever and integral Micro Ridge stylus tip. Every single diamond construction paves the way for unprecedented precision in transmitting groove modulation directly to the 3rd generation optical generator, enabling an undiluted, honest reproduction of the original recording that's as close as one can get to the artist's intent. The technical specs alone testify to the cartridge's superiority - a signal output achieved through photo-electric conversion, a remarkable channel separation of 27db more at 1kHz, a modest weight of just 7.7g, and an output signal level of 70mV or more. Employing high-grade ultra duralumin for the body material, stainless for cantilever holder, and maintaining a precise needle pressure of 2.0g to 2.2g - with the recommended sweet spot being 2.1g, every facet of the DS Audio Grand Master Extreme Cartridge has been meticulously crafted, making it a jewel in the crown of audio equipment. Be prepared to experience your music in a whole new spectrum with the Micro Ridge Stylus, a piece of sonic wonder capable of revealing layers of detail other cartridges can only dream of uncovering.
