Skyanalog 3D Reference - MC Cartridge

The pressure of a stylus in a vinyl LP groove exerts thousands of pounds per square inch, generating significant localised friction and heat. Estimates for the peak temperature at the point of contact vary, ranging from minor increases of a few degrees up to staggering spikes of 150°C to 240°C.

Despite localised temperatures potentially approaching the softening point of vinyl, the heat dissipates instantly through the record mass and the highly thermally conductive diamond tip, preventing permanent melting of the Vinyl modulus.

Loss of modulus form caused by the Vinyl melting will result in damaged Vinyl and adulterated Source Data.

It is no secret that there are vinyl LPs that are a very, very high purchase price. Having further advantageous replay conditions is most likely to have an appeal to users of Albums that have such high value. Why not to the owner/user of lesser value vinyl albums as well, who considers an album to be replayed using Cart's off approx' $10K in value.   

OK, I'll bite. What are these brands that Skyanalog is OEM manufacturer for?

@viridian Do you also need to know the volume of Cart's produced for each Brand to produce the calculation for the distribution of the Gross 50K Cart's produced over the 25 year history.

Is not the brand Hana sharing a similar timeline as the Hana brand and is not the fact that Excel Corp was a OEM producing business prior to Hana being incorporated more similarity.

Is the brands Excel Corp /  Hana also wanted to be declared.

Pindac LOL,  the answer to your question should be obvious on the face of it. If I was interested in knowing the volume of each cartridge produced I would simply ask the question. But that it not the question that I asked, and the question that you did not answer. 

You felt it necessary to note that the cartridge manufacturer was an OEM for several brands, but choose not to divulge them. I think it a fair question to ask where this information is coming from that they are an OEM for several brands in the above named countries. If you make a claim, you should be able to cite the source of the information.

I just read several reviews. They all state that Skyanalog was making cartridges for other brands for 20 years prior to 2019, when the Skyanalog brand was introduced. None of the reviewers knew exactly what brands bought product from Skyanalog. One said it was a “secret”. Indeed, the Skyanalog website makes the same claim without naming names, and reviewers may merely be quoting the website. One mentioned their novel damper material, Yan rubber. Best to just judge the Skyanalog cartridges on merit.
