Gold Note Vasari Cartridge – High-Performance MM Phono Cartridge for Turntables

from $299.00

The new generation MM Phono cartridge

Vasari’s innovative design is the result of a long research and development phase to create a high-performance Moving magnet cartridge. The body is made from a single machined piece of solid aluminium 7000 alloy to ensure high damping power and assisted by an ultra-light aluminium cantilever – inserted directly into the body to minimise any unwanted vibration – so that Vasari can extract even the finest details from the vinyl groove.

Vasari is available in 3 models:

  • Shibata, featuring a Shibata stylus

  • Gold, featuring an elliptical stylus

  • Red, featuring a conical stylus

The new Vasari Shibata, thanks to the peculiar shape of its stylus – an evolution of the elliptical shape with extra special facets to create an asymmetrical shape – allows for an incredible increase of the surface area contact whilst reducing significantly the pressure applied to the vinyl groove.

The result is a nearly perfect playback, with better dynamics and resolution, thanks to the deeper contact with the vinyl groove and, at the same time, low the wear of the record and the diamond.

Vasari Shibata MC - Frequency Response: 10-30,000 Hz Channel Separation: > 25 dB - Impedance: 500 Ω - Suggested Load: 47 kΩ - Tracking Weight: 2 g Diamond: Shibata - Cantilever: Aluminum -Body: Duralumin alloy

Vasari Gold - MM phono cartridge - 4mV - Mass 9g - Tracking Weight 2.0g - 1000Ω - 15-25.000Hz – Elliptical Tip - Suggested Load: 47kΩ.

Vasari Red - MM phono cartridge - 4mV - Mass 7g - Tracking Weight 2.0g - 1000Ω - 15-25.000Hz – Spherical Tip - Suggested Load: 47kΩ

THE BEST MM PHONO CARTRIDGES WE EVER MADE

The Vasari Series combines style and technology. The innovative and beautiful design of this cartridge, realized through computer modelling, has been created to achieve the peak performance of the MM design.

Its high-dampening structure, made of superior quality materials, and its ultra-rigid aluminium naked cantilever make the Vasari a superb tracker to let the custom bolded diamond stylus, exclusively developed on Gold Note specifications, extract all the informations from the vinyl groove.

TWO MODELS

The Vasari cartridge is available in two models, the Gold made with a duraluminum body and the Red with a special ultra-dampening photopolymer resin body. Both feature an output level of 4mV.
