Highly rare Philips cartridge. This is the best MM cartridge that Philips ever made. Originally designed for quadraphonic playback, but also widely praised for its beautiful warm sound for stereo playback. Complete with the original Philips Shibata style cut diamond which is no longer available and is now very rare. This really is a great upgrade for your turntable. In very good condition. A very small corner of the housing is missing. This fortunately is on the back side and does not affect the functioning. Check out the macro photos for the condition of the diamond. Complete with the original box, booklet and screws for mounting. SPECS: The special needle top has a so-called Shibata shape, the rounding is a bit more flattened compared to an elliptical needle. The rounding of the diamond is 10x7 um. Frequency range is 20-45,000 Hz, straight within 2 dB up to 20,000 Hz. Channel separation is better than 25 dB. The moving mass is less than 0.8 grams. Intermodulatie distortion is less than 1%. Will be very carefully packaged and sent by insured mail.
