Cusis Cartridges from Michell

20th December 2020

UK Turntable experts, Michell now has a series of Cusis cartridges on offer. All share the same moving coil design  

At the heart of the cartridge is a samarium-cobalt magnet.

You’ll also find 30μ copper wire used to wind the cartridge coils onto an, “…ultra-lightweight armature, which is mounted onto a specially designed damper,” said the company.

Reportedly, the damper has been specifically designed to give the stylus assembly the, “perfect support”.

Each cartridge has a large aluminium chassis designed to, “…absorb unwanted vibration and give a rigid platform to mount the cartridge parts.”  

All cartridges use a 2g tracking force, 100 Ohm loading and demand 40 hours of run in. The three models are:

CUSIS E

The entry point moving coil cartridge, it arrives with 23db separation. Price is £675.
