Main features
-
Tru-stone Gold web body: Overwhelming silence brought about by natural stone
We use ``Tru-stone,'' an artificial stone made of more than 85% natural stone powder and hardened with resin. The excellent rigidity unique to stone and the damping properties of resin thoroughly suppress unnecessary resonance, which is the nemesis of cartridges. The unique design of a gold mesh running through a black background gives a sense of high-end satisfaction not only in sound quality but also visually. -
Gold-plated copper coil: natural and detailed expressiveness
The coil uses gold-plated copper wire, which is said to have the greatest effect on sound quality. Unlike silver or pure copper, it features a relaxing tone that coexists with transparency and warmth, making it ideal for recording.holographic soundstageIt will be reproduced in detail. -
Double suspension structure: excellent tracking ability
All models feature the unique double suspension technology devised by Aidas Svazas. The boron cantilever and microridge stylus accurately capture the sound groove and create a dynamic sound image without distortion.

Worldwide Recognized Sound Quality
Sound Character
The perfect balance of tonality stands out, giving the impression that every detail is enveloped in warmth. Some reviewers have described it as "music illuminated from within," as the highest praise for high-end audio components. The natural sound is so realistic it can be mistaken for a live performance.
Spatial Representation and Resolution
The depth and scale of the sound stage have significantly improved, and the resolution and richness of harmonics are notably enhanced. The localization is clearer and more tangible, and the extremely low noise floor brings out the music's inner vitality carved into the records. It is even possible to hear the slightest changes in the pressure that musicians apply to their instruments.
Bass and Musical Expression
The bass is tight yet possesses depth and substance, and the high-tension reproduction is highly praised. The combination of transparency and quick transient response allows all instruments to be reproduced realistically. When playing a piano trio, the air, space, and resonance around the instruments are fully reproduced, giving the impression of listening to a large ensemble.
Part-Time Audiophile "Reviewers Choice" Award
In the esteemed U.S. audio specialist media "Part-Time Audiophile," the Aidas Cartridges Tru-stone Gold Web MC received the highest honor, the "Reviewers Choice."
Reviewer Marc Phillips conducted long-term listening tests with multiple turntables, including the J. Sikora Initial Max, Technics SL-1300G, and Pear Audio Blue Kid Howard. He consistently praised the sound quality for its blend of warmth and rich information that makes the music seem to glow from within, as well as the rich bass reproduction, which he called the finest among the cartridges he has recently auditioned. From jazz piano trios to Dire Straits, it provides a deep sense of immersion in the music, and he acclaimed that it allowed him to enjoy his favorite music as if listening to it for the first time. While compared with Koetsu, he concluded that "Aidas goes one step further."
