X-Quisite Voro MC Cartridge New Old Stock
This is a monoblock moving-coil (MC) cartridge that integrates a patented single-piece ceramic cantilever and coil former, eliminating flex at the junctions and ensuring precise signal reproduction. The cartridge body is a skeletonized aluminum chassis encapsulated by a Voronoi-patterned ceramic web, giving it both an organic aesthetic and optimal resonance behavior.

The ceramic cantilever is hollow in parts with an octagonal cross-section, reducing moving mass to just 0.08 mg at the stylus tip, which enhances tracking precision and dynamic response. The cartridge’s monoblock design eliminates joints between the needle carrier and coil body, minimizing acoustic leaks and airborne noise.
