The cartridge is praised for its neutral sound quality, making it a favorite among audiophiles seeking accurate reproduction without added coloration. Key specifications include an output voltage of 0.28 mV, a frequency response of 20 Hz to 50 kHz, and a stylus tip of micro edge line contact 5/75 μm. The recommended tracking force is around 1.5 grams, though some users prefer a range of 1.6 to 1.7 grams for optimal performance. The cartridge is compatible with a wide range of tonearms due to its dynamic compliance of 17 x 10^-6 cm/Dyne.
