Vertere Ruby One MC Cartridge

$12,995.00

The Vertere Ruby One Reference Moving Coil Cartridge is the result of five years of meticulous design and innovation. Engineered for extraordinary clarity and musicality, it features a custom generator, precision-machined body, and advanced cantilever-stylus system — all crafted to reveal every nuance of your music with unmatched realism and finesse.

Crafted over five years of passionate development, the Vertere Ruby One Reference Moving Coil Cartridge brings music to life with stunning realism and emotional depth. Every element was meticulously tested and refined — from cantilevers in Diamond, Ruby, and Boron to stylus profiles ranging from fine-line to micro-elliptical — all in pursuit of greater detail, expression, and musical truth.

The cartridge body evolved through countless design iterations, resulting in a precision-machined alloy housing featuring Vertere’s signature 4-point fixing system. This structure isn’t just visually striking — it’s engineered for optimal mechanical stability and vibration control, enhancing performance at every level.

To ensure seamless synergy with its bespoke generator, the Ruby One’s mass and structural balance were finely tuned. At its core lies a custom-designed, low-mass moving coil generator paired with an advanced telescopic Ruby/Alloy cantilever and a Micro Ridge nude diamond stylus. This carefully matched system captures every nuance — from the gentle decay of a string to the full resonance of a grand piano — with remarkable transparency.
