Thorens TAS 1500 Cartridge

Moving Coil Cartridge with boron cantilever and microlinear cut.

With an output voltage of 0.6mV (5.5cm/sec) and 12 ohms internal resistance, the pick-up harmonises with all common phono preamplifiers. A naked diamond with microlinear cut in combination with a solid boron cantilver guarantee best pickup capability and sound quality.
