Know before you buy
The UltraTracker is a Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge, making it compatible with the vast majority of standard phono stages and integrated amplifiers with built-in phono inputs.
The billet aluminum body is highly effective at damping unwanted vibrations. By controlling these resonances, the cartridge delivers tighter, more accurate bass and a cleaner overall presentation compared to plastic-bodied alternatives.
A nude-elliptical stylus is mounted directly to the cantilever rather than on a metal shank, which reduces moving mass. This allows the stylus to trace the grooves of your records with greater precision, resulting in better high-frequency detail and less distortion.
The V-Twin design mirrors the layout of the original record cutting head. This alignment ensures superior channel separation and tracking ability, which helps the cartridge retrieve more nuance and spatial information from your LPs.
The UltraTracker features a standard half-inch mount, making it compatible with most modern tonearms. However, like any high-performance cartridge, it requires careful alignment and tracking force calibration to achieve its full sonic potential.
