Introducing the Teo Audio 'CBP' Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge.
There are Ten (10) different changes to the basic cartridge, each designed to drop either mechanical noise or electromagnetic noise out of the system, for the best/lowest overall noise floor possible, in either static or dynamic terms.
Removal of all this self noise and susceptibility, without overdamping, is key.
The result is a sound you may not have ever heard before, except with some of the best Moving Coil cartridges... and only partially available in the best Moving Magnet/Moving Iron cartridges.
The work involved in making each cartridge is...extensive.
The advantage of this cartridge, is that one can move up from a basic 0.3x0.7 elliptical version (this one here) to a more advanced stylus and cantilever type, without having to return the cartridge and pay a notable sum. One can shop anywhere for price in the replacements, which are widely available. - and also keep spares. And play. Play with various stylus profiles and cantilever types. All while listening to, what we feel, is nearing the best sound quality that can be delivered out of each type and make.
As long as the motor (cartridge body) is working, one can 'DIY' the stylus, akin to using a normal MM cartridge. The advanced cartridge body and motor, is key, here...
In our opinion, this cartridge is competitive with the best MM cartridges out there today and in some ways (one might find), important ways, exceeds them all. We hope you find this to be a viable alternative to well respected mid level MC cartridges and top shelf MM/MI cartridges.
This particular design (the body) is 3D Printed. Printed right at the limits of the 3D Technology that is available today. 3D printing technology, the type utilized here... had to advance enough to make this cartridge possible. And it has, and so the cartridge is now here.
Complete with necessary mounting hardware. Three lengths of non magnetic button head hex screws (three pairs), various washers, and a High quality hex wrench. And a ridiculously robust stylus guard for storage and shipping.
It tracks best at a starting point of about 2.0g, with a level body (parallel to the record), and comes in at ~6.9g of mass. Medium mass arms are compatible, with the extremes in arm mass (High or very low) being potentially problematic, which is normal, for most cartridges.
Thanks for looking.
