About the Victor Z1/SAS MM

The Victor Z1/SAS MM Cartridge is a moving magnet type cartridge manufactured by Victor (also known as JVC or NIVICO). It features the Super Analog Stylus (SAS) profile tip, which is carefully crafted from single-crystal natural diamond. This laser-cut diamond stylus closely resembles the cutting stylus used on lathes to produce acetate master disks, allowing it to reach the deepest grooves of vinyl records and retrieve previously inaccessible details. The SAS tip's wide contact area with the groove wall enables reproduction of a more expansive bandwidth of information with higher fidelity. The cantilever is made of sapphire, chosen for its high rigidity, which enhances sound clarity and definition compared to aluminum cantilevers. This cartridge is known for delivering crystal-clear sound and improved detail retrieval from analog records.
