Description
The Fideles Sublime is a different animal to its brothers. This is the approach to design a high output Moving Ferrum Pipe cartridge with ALL the core features of a top-flight MC cartridge. Titanium 1100 body, a Boron cantilever and Shibata EVO stylus – features of (some) MC cartridges in the range of 7k to 15k MSRP. This in combination with super compact and light weight Ferrum pipes resulting in a cartridge with 3.5 mV output and a easy moving mass match for ALL modern tonearms.
This is by far the best MFP cartridge on the market today and a serious contender in the 5-8k$ range of Moving Coils today.
