Cartridge Porn

It's a little hand made exotic jewel it is - quirky but really rather nice - quite extraordinary in fact. I haven't fitted it yet as I have a stinking cold (sound of violins please).

Apparently there is also a boron cantilever version called the 'Boron Supremacy' (you couldn't make it up).

The truth is I'm more than a little excited - it's certainly not a 'me too' product and quite unique both in terms of technology and construction.

 

And boxage!

 

The box is fabulously eccentric - wooden and carved with turtles etc (little tutle clasp too) - then painted. Inside it is hardly less extraordinary with the cartridge mounted to a mirror polished platform - I've take a couple of pics and will download them later.

Here is a pic of the box:



It doesn't have turtles as I said - ducks instead - it does have a clasp catch in the same shape as a turtle though

And of the inside:



Might fit it today

 

The front duck looks really pissed off.

 

I'm sorry..., it would have to be turtles all over the box, I'm not buying it!

 

It can be done, how many turtles would you like and which species? Keith.

 

Box turtle, Terrapene carolina, of course!

 

They score big on presentation! Compared to mine from 2005 when it was still in pre-production and they didn't have a name for it yet even. And of course I didn't pay anything near the ~£1.5k asking price now.

The heart of the cartridge does looks the part with the coils all dressed up nicely. It's a killer cartridge though, mine is still going strong.

YNMOAN,
Please, post your impressions in a new thread. I'd be very interested to know how the production cart performs.

Cheers
Mat

 

Will do

 

Very cool! Looking forward to reading your impressions - it's certainly an intersting design.

Hi,

What are your first impressions?

Allnic Verito

The version of the Verito that YNWOAN has is an extremely promising design, but there areas we feel could yet be improved upon, every scrap of feedback is relayed to KS Park in an effort to make every aspect of the cart's performance 'world class'.

Hi YNWOAN,

How did you get on with the Allnic Vento cartridge?

+1 Very interested to hear about this as it seems like a novel design.

 

Another loafer from the 4 Point owners club wades in.

 

Not a great picture, but my beautiful handmade Blue Angel Mantis in South African Snakewood.

Just playing with this Cadenza bronze.
Only played a few lps so far but first impressions are very good.
Very coherent through the frequency range nothing out of place. concise but musical. I expect it to improve with a few more hours on it.
