Acutex

About Acutex

Acutex was a hi-fi audio brand best known for its phono cartridges and replacement styli, popular among vinyl enthusiasts for quality and performance. The brand offered several notable cartridge series—such as the M and STR lines—which have been praised in audiophile circles. Though production has ceased and original products are no longer manufactured, replacement styli for Acutex cartridges remain available through various aftermarket suppliers, evidencing continued demand from analog audio collectors and turntable users. The origin of Acutex is sometimes linked to Piezo/Azden, and it was distributed in the US, but detailed corporate history is limited.
