Features

The addition of Ortofons unique Replicant 100 stylus and reduced tip mass ensures open and detailed sound reproduction for a purely exquisite listening experience.

Electrum coils, consisting of a gold and silver alloy, provide uncolored and precise transmission of armature movements, while the slightly modified damping system makes it possible to reduce VTF and achieves a higher level of linearity.
