Music Maker Classic Limited Edition Moving Iron Cartridge:

The Music Maker Classic Limited Edition is a refinement on the Music Maker Classic. That still uses pure silver hand wound conductors, but uses substantially different materials for both the cantilever and the stylus, as well as changes to the styli cutting angle,

Couple all of these with the improvement the std classic brought over the Music Maker MkIII Leonard Gregory has managed to raise the performance bar still higher.

As a moving Iron Cartridge it has none of the draw backs of low output moving coils, and yet offers the listener the chance to experience music in a truly sublime way. No wonder those reviewers and early customers lucky enough to hear this wonder are describing it as one of the finest pick up cartridges made.

Having heard the Music Maker Mk III develop over the hours of use we have put our cartridge through, we were really stunned at just what a difference the Music Maker Classic had over the Mk III, a real sense of air and spatial placement, and yet a delicacy of sound that lets you here what the artists intended.

The Music Maker Classic Limited Edition with its solid Saphire cantilver, which imparts incredible stiffness and rigidity not found on other caridges anyway near this price point. The fitted dimond stylus is a fraction of the size of the ones found on the Classic and the Music Maker Mk III. Allowing the stylus to track deeper in the grove, giving in our tests a much quieter surface noise during playback of the recording.

A clear winner that we would ask all buyers of serious cartridges to add to their shortlist. It is really that good.

Technical Specification
