Transfiguration Phoenix S MC Phono Cartridge, 5N Silver coils, Ogura PA 3 x 30um

Description: From my private collection: This is one of the best-sounding cartridges I have kept for years. Transfiguration Phoenix S MC moving coil Phono Cartridge This cartridge is in very good operational and cosmetic condition, the sound is beautiful, detailed and dynamic, the stylus still sharp, cantilever and suspension is also in excellent condition. Used under 200 hours and has been stored for many years. The Transfiguration Phoenix MC cartridge provides much more lifelike, alive re-creation of recorded sound. It has an elegant style in the delicate black finish to mate well with most tonearms currently available. Push pull dampingA special compound has newly been meticulously designed and fabricated to provide total stylus/coil alignment and control. It's non-sensitivity to temperature change keeps the damping coefficient stable and improves tracing accuracy. Twin coils on the cantilever fulcrumMinimizes dynamic mass and mechanical impedance, enabling instant, accurate reaction to every groove detail, including the ability to handle massive transients without overshoot or break-up. Special alloy core for coil assemblyThis increases sensitivity by 25dB, improves signal to noise ratio eliminating a usual source of distortion. Neodynium magnetThanks to the much higher induced magnetism of the neodymium magnet in the rear of the double ring magnets, the coil-turns of the generator have been reduced. It is very helpful to reduce the internal impedance to 7 ohms, which contributes to the improvement in the solidarity with transparency. Low mass tipOgura PA (3 x 30um) tip shares many of the advantages of the flagship MC cartridge "The Orpheus". Its function is to reproduce the character of the original recorded sound - not add or subtract its own deficiencies. Anti-resonance cartridge bodyThe solid cartridge body utilizes both shape and material to create a totally inert environment for the electromagnetic elements. These elements are more effectively insulated from arm, turntable and tracing noises, further reducing any tonal coloration of the music and lessening the illusion of distracting mechanical noises. The Transfiguration Phoenix reveals the music in your record grooves with a pure, liquid, utterly transparent sound, as free from artificiality as mountain spring water. Like all Transfiguration designs, the Phoenix incorporates an ultra-tight magnet coil coupling. The coils aren’t merely close; they’re literally inside the ring magnet, with coil-magnetic proximity of only a few thousandths of an inch. With dynamic mass minimised and coil saturation eliminated, Transfiguration cartridges maintain extremely fast and accurate response to groove movements. The Temper features a boron cantilever, newly developed for a natural sound, a low-mass Ogura PA stylus tip, and pure silver coils. Reviews:"ORG's excellent 180gm reissue of Diana Krall's The Look of Love (Verve) sounded just about right through the Phoenix. Krall's voice was projected forward of a line drawn between the speakers, finely focused in three-dimensional space. Sibilants were sharp but cleanly rendered, and her breathy voice projected just the right balance of chest and throat. Lucky Elvis Costello!" - Michael Fremer, Stereophile June 2009 "The Transfiguration Phoenix resolved a lot of inner detail and did an oustanding job of separating tightly mixed instruments occupying the same spatial and tonal territory... Frank Zappa may have become a digital devotee late in life, but I bet he'd be thrilled with the sound of this reissue played back via the Poenix. I don't care how many times you've played your original pressing of Hot Rats - and I've plyed mine plenty - I guarantee you'll hear things from this reissue you've never heard before. Every one of those things that I heard through my reference system I also heard through the Phoenix. Another great cartridge from Transfiguration." - Michael Fremer, Stereophile June 2009 Please watch the YouTube videos:https://youtu.be/ZTBEtfyaPK0https://youtu.be/HfM5RhQoERY Description: Design: Yokeless double-ring magnet musically natural MC cartridgebody: aluminium, resonance controlledcantilever: boronstylus: ogura PA (3 x 30µm) solid diamondcore/coils: hi grade permalloy square core with 5N silver coils.magnet: neodymium – both front and rear.weight: 7.8goutput voltage: 0.4mV (3.54cm/s, 1kHz)internal impedance: 4 ohmsfrequency response: 10Hz – 20kHz +1.5dB – 20kHz – 40kHz +2dBchannel separation: > 27dB (200Hz – 1kHz)channel balance: < 0.5dB at 1kHztracking ability: >70µm at tracking force 2.0g at 315Hzdynamic compliance: 12 x 10-6 cm/dynerecommended loading: >7 ohmsrecommend’ tracking force: 2.0 goptimum working temp’: 23º celsiusbreak in period:30 hoursThis cartridge comes with original wood box, Specification paper, Screwdriver, and screws.I have sold a lot of cartridges and got a lot of good feedback on Audio Mart(ID:waynesaudio), please check them out.And please take a look my other items.https://www.usaudiomart.com/userads.phpThanks!WayneWayne's Audio
