DS Audio Grand Master Extreme Optical Cartridge

The needle tip and cantilever are usually fixed with adhesive, but the DS Audio Grand Master Extreme Optical Cartridge uses a 0.22mm square one-piece diamond cantilever, which is made of a single diamond from the cantilever to the needle tip. The one-piece diamond cantilever does not use any adhesive, so it can detect the vibration of the needle tip more directly without losing any of the needle tip vibration. Aki-San and his team at DS Audio are very pleased with the result, and are sure that their customers will be impressed by the difference in sound.

There is no doubt that the DS Audio Grand Master Extreme, which uses an one-piece diamond cantilever, the ultimate ideal form of cantilever and needle tip, has reached a new analogue extreme.
