TUSCANY

The Tuscany is our nest MC phono cartridge, the

result of 25 years of experience in designing high-

performance audio solutions - it marks the pinnacle

of vinyl reproduction for uncompromised listening

pleasure.

At the core of the Tuscany is the extra-thin Micro Ridge

diamond developed in collaboration with Adamant-

Namiki, the world’s best diamond manufacturer. The

multiple faces of this special cut allow the diamond tip

to track the vinyl groove precisely extracting even the

most delicate music details from the record.

The diamond is borne by a telescopic cantilever made

of Boron and supported by a Titanium micro-pipe,

nely machined into 4 spokes where the micro-coils

are located along with a Teon spacer that ensures the

highest level of alignment and accuracy. Such a unique

solution increases the tracking ability of the Tuscany,

providing ideal rigidity to the structure. The Tuscany

also benets from the special design of the cantilever

suspension, made of elastic non-deformable harmonic

steel that’s rmly locked in position by a gold-plated nut.

Completing the design of the Tuscany, the body is

designed to offer structural rigidity and precise VTA

adjustments - made of 7050 Aluminum alloy injected

with uid polymers, it provides the ideal damping effect.

On top of that, the gold-plated pin connectors provide

the perfect surface of contact with the arm cinches,

guaranteeing the purity of the audio signal and better

grounding.

The Tuscany features micro-coils made of pure silver on

the Gold, copper on the Red, and precisely wrapped

by hand.

force to the stylus, such as finger pressure, can

result in damages. Handle the cartridge with the

Operating steel/magnetic tools or similar items

near the cartridge will exert a force on the

magnet and may result in damages to the stylus

and the cartridge.
