Beauty and Innovation Merged in One Creation

The Machiavelli Red is the new Gold Note high-output MC phono cartridge features easy internal impedance and high gain to enables great sound performance matched with any MM phono preamp or MC phono properly set-up. The Machiavelli Red aluminum alloy light and rigid cantilever handle a high precision Elliptical diamond developed with Adamant-Namiki, the world most famous professional Diamond manufacturer. The diamond tip is mechanically inserted and blocked into the new cantilever that is consequently handled by a special pipe increases the structural rigidity. The cantilever suspension is made by elastic no deformable harmonic steel spring rigidly blocked to eliminate vibrations enhancing the tracking ability of the cartridge the best. Besides, the increased lighted body of the cartridge, featuring only 10gram mass enables superb vibration control. The thin and long gold-plated pin connectors enable the ideal contact with arm cinches; the good contact unable energy dispersion and better grounding for a more silent
music background to reach all minor details listening to the music. Because the Machiavelli Red 130ohm high internal impedance and 2.0mV output level it can be easily matched with any active phono preamp MM and even correctly set-up MC ones, without Step-Up transformers.

The Machiavelli Gold MKII is the best ever made Gold Note low output MC phono cartridge features easy internal impedance and high gain to enables great sound performance even with MM or MC phono properly set-up phono preamplifier. The Machiavelli Gold Born extra rigid cantilever handles a high precision Line Contact diamond developed with AdamantNamiki, the world most famous professional Diamond
manufacturer. The diamond tip is inserted and blocked into the Boron cantilever handled by a telescopic pipe increases the coupling rigidity. The cantilever suspension is made by elastic no deformable harmonic steel spring rigidly blocked to eliminate vibrations enhancing the tracking ability of the cartridge the best. Besides, the increased lighted body of the cartridge, featuring only 10gram mass enables superb vibration
control. The thin and long gold plated pin connectors enable the ideal contact with arm cinches; the good contact unable energy dispersion and better grounding for a more silent music background to reach all minor details listening to the music. The Machiavelli Gold because the 30ohm high internal impedance and 0.4mV output level it can be easily matched with MC and MM phono preamp correctly set-up without Step-Up transformers.
