Obtains the same rigidity as a head shell integrated arm

Description

Fidelix MITCHAKU (close contact) head shellis an innovative head shell developed to fundamentally eliminate the "gap" in the connection with the tone arm.

Conventional headshells had a structure in which only one pin on the top was pulled in when connecting, so there was always a gap at the bottom, and even a gap of just 1 micron affected the acoustics, and if it was filled with a rubber ring, etc., it would cause "elastic fusion" and result in a dull sound.

"Seesaw structure" that achieves zero gaps

The MITCHAKU headshell employs a unique **"seesaw structure"** that solves this problem.

  • Gaining stiffness: This achieves the same rigidity as an arm with an integrated headshell, delivering solid sound quality. The see-saw structure absorbs errors during connection, and the head shell and arm ring are in perfect contact.
  • Improved sound field feeling: Correctly leveling improves separation and reproduces a wide sound field.

  • Perfect tight connection: The horizontal pin placed between the top and bottom pins is pulled in with equal force by the top and bottom pins, making it possible to connect the tonearm completely tightly with no gaps.

Review

Overwhelming improvement in low frequencies brought about by rigid body design

In user reviews, the effect of this rigid body structure is highly praised.

“When attached to the arm, it is quitesolid feelingThere is. "The sound has a noticeable improvement in the bass range,Bass sinks in, pitch becomes clearer, and resolution improves considerably.I did. ``If this is the effect of rigidity, it makes sense that shell-integrated arms would flourish.''

This increase in rigidity eliminates the harshness of the high range of the cartridge used (e.g. DL-103R) and improves overall performance, such as changing the cartridge to ``blower the bass''.Fundamentally improved sound balance and textureI will.
