AVIDHIFI Boron

The Boron material is exceptionally stiff and lightweight, which allows the cartridge to react faster to the grooves in your records. This results in improved detail retrieval, better transient response, and a more open, dynamic sound profile.

The micro-ridge profile is designed to sit deeper in the record groove with a larger contact area than standard shapes. This leads to more precise tracking, lower distortion, and reduced wear on both the stylus and your vinyl collection.

As a moving coil cartridge with a 0.32mV output, it requires a phono stage capable of handling low-output MC designs. You should ensure your preamp or step-up transformer supports a load impedance greater than 100Ω to achieve the best performance.

Yes, the flat, square-angled edges provide clear visual reference points for your alignment protractor. This makes it much easier to achieve the correct overhang and zenith angle compared to cartridges with rounded or irregular bodies.

The recommended tracking force is 2.0 grams, with a tolerance of plus or minus 0.2 grams. We suggest starting at 2.0 grams and fine-tuning within that range to suit your specific tonearm and listening preferences.
