CHUDEN HC-001 High-Output MM Cartridge w/ Headshell Bonded Elliptical Diamond Stylus
Product Description
This moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge is designed for powerful punch, engaging groove, and refined detail, delivering one of the highest output levels available among current MM cartridges. By adopting a 0.3 × 0.7 mil bonded diamond elliptical stylus and carefully tuning each component, its high-frequency response has been extended compared with the MG-3605 while preserving solid, impactful mid and low frequencies for a well-balanced, highly expressive sound.
With an output voltage of 7.5 mV at 1 kHz (5 cm/s) and a frequency response of 20–20 kHz, it offers channel balance within 1.5 dB and channel separation of 25 dB or more. It is optimized for a load of 47 kΩ / 200 pF and a recommended tracking force of 2.5 g, making it an excellent choice not only for listeners who find recent MM cartridges lacking, but also for MC enthusiasts seeking dynamic, nuanced playback.
