Aida MkII
The Aida MKII employs a laser drilled Sapphire cantilever with ultra- low mass Contact Line stylus; we did this to resolve the challenges of playing the inner grooves with the same level of confidence as the outer.
How did we do this? The unique stylus shape of our CL stylus has a “sharper” playing surface on the faceted diamond, allowing it to ride easily into the groove modulations of even the most difficult passages and high frequency information that other cartridges simply cannot trace.
The result — a truly superb cartridge, surpassing top MC designs with air, focus and sound staging no cartridge at this price should be able to achieve.
