About the DS003
The DS Audio DS 003 is an optical phono cartridge system comprising the DS 003 cartridge and its dedicated DS 003 equalizer. Unlike conventional moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridges, it uses photoelectric conversion and must be used with a compatible DS Audio equalizer rather than a standard phono stage. Its redesigned optical system uses independent LEDs and photo-detectors for the left and right channels, increasing cartridge output to 70 mV and improving channel separation and signal performance. The complete system was retailed at approximately $6,000 in the U.S.
