Unveiling the Super-Elliptical Nude Diamond Stylus
The E4 cartridge boasts a 'nude' super-elliptical stylus measuring only 7.6 x 18 microns (0.3 x 0.7 mil). Carved and polished from a single diamond piece, this design results in reduced effective tip mass, increased rigidity, and significantly improved high-frequency detail retrieval compared to 'bonded' elliptical stylus alternatives. The refined 7.6-micron profile ensures accurate tracking of high-frequency groove modulations, providing lower distortion, enhanced transient response, and a flat frequency response for unrivaled fidelity.
