Stereo Dyneticw Phono Cartridges

The creation ofthe V15 m e N is something of a tour de force in innovative engineering. The challenge was to design a cartridge that would transcend all existing cartridges in musical transparency, technical excellence, and uniformity. The unprecedented research and design disciplines that were brought to bear on this challenge over aperiod of severalyean have resulted in an altogether new pickup system that exceeds previous performance levels by a significant degree - not merely in one parameter, but in totality. In fact, this pickup system has prevailed simultaneously over several extremely difficult music re-creation problems which, until now, have defied practical solutions. Most of all, this is an eminently musical cartridge which is a delight to the critical ear, regardless of programmaterial, or the rigorous demands of today's most technically advanced recordings.

..An elegant solution to many prevalent problems

The V15 Type N is a Stabilized, Static-free, Super-Trackability cartridge-stylus system. The next few pages will explain the following advantages of the system: SUPER TRACK NTY Demonstrably improved trackability across the entire audible spectrum especially in the critical mid- and high-frequency areas. Dynamically stabilized tracking overcomes record-warp caused problems, such as fluctuating tracking force, varying tracking angle and wow. Electrostatic neutralization of the record surface minimizes three separate problems: static discharge; electrostatic attraction of the cartridge to the record; and attraction of dust to the record. h effective dust and lint removal system. A Hyperelliptical stylus tip configuration dramatically reduces both harmonic and intermodulation distortion. Ultra-flat response - individually tested to meet all specifications. Reduced dynamic mechanical impedance dlows superb performance at ultra-light tracking forces....
