Features include an alnico magnet assembly, long-grain boron cantilever, ultra low-mass Ogura Jewel Co. P9 Stylus (Vital design), milled Teflon billet back plate & tapered gold-plated brass pins for easier installation. A machined aluminum cradle houses the entire generator mechanism.
We’ve selected the hand-crafted Pearwood housing for the resonant properties it brings to the table. Enclosing our ultra-revealing generator, it dials back any potentially fatiguing attributes and lends irresistible warmth & smoothness to the sonic display. Dynamic swings are not only handed with ease, but with inviting richness & resolution. Portraying a multi-layered soundstage that’s brimming with low-level detail, Celebration II conveys a cohesive, alluring sonic image in which you can immerse yourself for hours.
