The Ikeda 9TT MC Cartridge represents a refined evolution of Ikeda Sound Labs' acclaimed 9 series, engineered for superior handling and sonic clarity. Precision-machined from solid aluminum alloy, the body provides exceptional rigidity for the generator unit. A dual-layer duralumin cantilever minimizes mass and warping while maximizing structural integrity. The line-contact stylus architecture delivers accurate groove information to the magnetic coils with minimal distortion. Advanced engineering—including high-efficiency Permalloy cores, low-impedance windings, potent neodymium magnets, and optimized magnetic geometry—ensures transparent sound reproduction free from coloration. Meticulous fabrication and alignment protocols unlock the subtle details and tonal character preserved in vinyl recordings.
