Analog Relax EX2000 MC A character defined by the finest ‘spruce’ from the South Tyrol region of Northern Italy is imbued in the Analog Relax EX2000 MC. This storied region is where the material for the legendary Stradivarius stringed instruments is said to have been harvested. The EX2000 thus honours the greatest luthier of all time. Its surface is coated with an ultra-fine powder allowing it to reproduce natural sound. A precision-machined solid diamond cantilever is used to transmit seamlessly the movement established in the record’s grooves to the power generator, extracting high-resolution sound. Compared to other diamond cartridges, the cantilever in EX2000 has been cut slightly thicker to achieve more solidity in the sound with the added benefit of improved traceability at a higher level. The stylus is the ‘Ver. 3’ model, further evolution of the well-received ‘SC stylus’ used for the EX1000. In the EX2000, the stylus has a number of multi-faceted cuts applied vertically, allowing it to reproduce sound with almost no inner distortion. The front and back of the stylus tip are cut with different curvatures, making it difficult to suffer the “crackling” peculiar to original records and older or worn pressings, enabling playback with an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio. Cartridges with diamond cantilevers can be prone to extracting the maximum information but with a tense and edgy sound, which impacts on extended listening pleasure. The EX2000 delivers depth, range, and substance while retaining the full content of the groove Output: Voltage 0.4mv (1kHz) Impedance: 8Ω Stylus: SC Stylus Ver.3 Special custom order made solid diamond Cantilever: Special nude diamond Coil material: High Purity 6N copper Body: Finest ‘spruce’ from the South Tyrol egion of Northern Italy, Ultra-fine ‘powder coating’, Magnet: Multiple neodymium magnet Weight: About 9.0g
