Fidelix Direct Couple Cartridge MC-F1000

The basic structure of the MC-F1000 is similar to the MC-L1000 of the JVC and converts the movement of the needle before passing the cantilever directly. The advantage of picking up sound at the needle tip is that there is a lot of information and a lot of fine nuances.

The effective diameter of the coil is 0.8 mm.

The black line spacing is 1 mm and the cantilever diameter is 0.6 mm.

The idea is to adsorb magnetic garbage with another powerful magnet. Even at the prototype stage, a small amount of magnetic garbage was attached here, which prevented it from entering the interior. The coil has a total of 12 turns in three layers, and impedance is 6Ω.

Because it is a home-based coil, the output change due to needle pressure change is small. As a result, stability also increases against warping and shaking. Also, there is a hole in the center of the coil, it is very light. The stylus, cantilever and coil combine closely like a photograph, so it is truly direct coupling. The back and forth resonance of the coil is not a problem at all because it is small. Since it is a direct coupling method, it is easy to give an accurate angle by using aluminum for cantilever.

The MC-F1000 is a method that does not pass the cantilever, and a small hole is drilled in the aluminum pipe, and the diamond needle is put in by the press-in method, so it becomes a strong bond with high accuracy. With direct couples and lightweight, there was a really light and refreshing high range without any stress. Violin, soprano, and female vocals are especially beautiful, and the love of Telesaten's thoughts are pierced in the heart.

The body is made of hard and rust-resistant aluminum. A screw with a diameter of 2.6mm can be used without tap and tap screw. It is a seamless integrated structure to support cantilever assembly as strongly as possible. The cover is made of the same material, but this is a gray anodize (anodize) finish. Strong body design contributes to the clarity and strength of bass instruments.

Amazing amount of information and energy

The phoneequalizer amplifier uses a high fidex LEGGIERO with low input conversion noise and input impedance, but at the moment of dropping the needle at the turn, I was surprised by the supersonic sound I had never experienced before. The freshness of the ultra-high resolution sound is very high, it is a tremendous instantaneous power. Since there is a large amount of transitional information, you can see that the stick hits the cymbal, the amplitude and the timbre change rapidly immediately after playing piano and guitar, the voice quality change and breathing of the singer, the change of the sound of the moment instantaneously, you can see as if you are watching a slow motion video. In addition, the intense energy generated at the moment of playing the bass string and the moment the beater of the kick drum hits the skin was superbly reproduced and overwhelmed by the power of anger. I do not feel habit at all, so it is suitable for any music genre. Since the output voltage is 0.18mV low, an ultra-low noise phono-equalizer amplifier is required to demonstrate the real realm.

Smooth and rich in information

Federix develops and sells analog-related equipment and is highly regarded by enthusiasts. The company has been conducting research and development for many years. We finally completed a direct couple type, air-core MC cartridge. When comparing the sound quality with iron core MCs, it is characterized by sharp smoothness like analog tape playback, and the transparency of sound is extremely high. With this power generation system, the air sensation of the recording place is reproduced faithfully, and the amount of information is exceptionally abundant. In particular, the reproducibility of weak sounds that are likely to be buried in noise is high, and this weak sound seems to be added to the doubling of the instrument and the voice, and the overtones are played more richly. Compared to iron core MCs, there is no sense of emphasis on the rise of the sound, and you feel the natural rise of the sound. In addition, the low range tends to be modest in this method, but I was satisfied with the low range feeling. I used LEGGIERO for the phoneequalizer, but I was able to confirm that the sound rise is agile with a slightly warm color as a tone without lack of gain.
