The S Series Shibita moving magnet phono cartridge differentiates itself from its competition with innovative design to offer exceptional performance. Experience the difference of the S Series cartridge - a true testament to innovation and craftsmanship in audio technology. Unlike the commonly used plastic cartridge bodies of its competitors, the S Series Shibita features a custom-built solid bamboo cartridge body with a nepheline undercoating. The resonance properties of bamboo are renowned and contribute greatly to the success of this design while the beguiling nephiline acts as a sonic diffusor. The Shibata stylus is quite narrow and can extract an exceptional amount of detail from the record groove that other stylus designs cannot. This feature, combined with the excellent channel separation (23db @ 1Khz) and a frequency response of 20hz-25000HZ elevates the value many times its asking price. The availability of replacement styli guarantees your long-term enjoyment of this exceptional product.
