The best selling low output Shibata cartridge, upgraded with a tapered aluminium cantilever and the Alnico generator used in the Umami Blue. The best selling low output Shibata cartridge, upgraded with a tapered aluminium cantilever and the Alnico generator used in the Umami Blue.The SL MK II updates the most successful low output moving coil of recent years. The nude Shibata stylus now sits on a tapered aluminium cantilever with higher rigidity and lower tip mass, giving greater clarity and a cleaner transfer of energy from the groove.Its generator is the same Alnico magnet cross coil design found in the Umami Blue and ML, wound with high purity 30 micron copper wire for an 8 ohm impedance. This improves signal to noise, reduces moving mass and matches a broader range of phono stages.Cryogenically treated yoke, pole pieces and terminal pins, plus the damped M series style body with brass cap and threaded fittings, complete a cartridge that competes far above its price.Main featuresNude Shibata stylus on a new tapered aluminium cantileverAlnico generator shared with the Umami Blue and MLHigh purity 30 micron copper coil wire, 8 ohm impedanceCryogenically treated yoke, pole pieces and terminal pinsNon resonant damped body with brass cap and threaded fittings8.6 gram weight improves coupling with modern tonearmsTwo year warrantyTechnical specificationsStylusShibataCantileverTapered AluminiumOutput level0.4mV/1kHzOutput balance80ΩCartridge weight8.6gBody colourBlackWarranty2 yearsBuying from Dreamcrest AudioDreamcrest Audio Fidelity Ltd is an authorised Hana dealer with around twenty years in the high end audio business.
