Product Description

The DS Audio Grand Master EX phono cartridge has Independent LED and photo-detector arrangement for the left and right channels.

The needle tip and cantilever are usually fixed with adhesive, but Grand Master Extreme uses an one-piece diamond cantilever, which is made of a single diamond from the cantilever to the needle tip. The one-piece diamond cantilever does not use any adhesive at all, so it can detect the vibration of the needle tip more directly without losing any of the vibration of the needle tip. We are very pleased with the result, and we are sure that our customers will be impressed by the difference in sound. There is no doubt that Grand Master Extreme, which uses an one-piece diamond cantilever, the ultimate ideal form of cantilever and needle tip, has reached a new analog extreme.
