From Analog Relax, which is dedicated to creating record cartridges with great attention to detail, a new top-class MC cartridge has been added. Its name isEXCELLENT 1 (Excellent 1)Abbreviated as EX1. I had heard that it was under development for some time, but it has finally made its debut. Details of the product can be found on the product page, but it features a wooden body, a sapphire cantilever, and a custom line-contact stylus, which are specialties of Analog Relax. Well, in the case of this company's cartridges, almost everything is a combination of handcrafted work by artisans and custom-made parts...
This is a masterpiece completed after dozens of trial listening sessions with the cartridge artisans. Delivery takes about a month and a half, but please enjoy the sound crafted by the sapphire cantilever and custom line-contact stylus!
