New TOTL MC Cartridge from Ortofon...The MC Vertex

Interesting- trying to maximize optimum shape to contact vinyl walls, and using a stiff diamond cantilever. Looking forward to reviews particularly comparisons.

Thanks for sharing 

17 D3

and the predecessor Diamond

Dynavector……

fashion comes around… again…

I used a Karat Diamond MkII for a few years. Loved it.

Ya man I sold a bunch of Ruby and a few Diamond back in the golden age. Ran a 17D3 for 3 years or so recently. It’s now making a serious analog dude in Colorado happy :-)

It is interesting how Dynavector adopted the MC technology by paying license fees to Ortofon and possibly Grado, and when up and running, were producing its own patents which other Companies are adopting as their own versions, especially Ortofon.

It does suggest that a magnetic field interface that is controlled does have beneficial properties in how the end sound being produced is assessed. 

It also suggests the designs are linear and quite predictable when control measures are undertaken with very tight tolerances.
