With something as sensitive as a cartridge, this can only succeed if great attention is paid to every detail. For the stylus, we have chosen a diamond with a micro ridge cut. This has excellent scanning characteristics, while at the same time being extremely gentle on the record grooves. In addition, the Micro Ridge cut has the advantage of even wear over the long term, while maintaining the optimal scanning profile of the needle. For the needle carrier our choice became a solid boron rod. This combines the aspects of torsional stiffness and lightness in an ideal way. The coils themselves are wound from high-purity 6N copper, which has been further treated with a special technology developed in-house. We have paid great attention to the damping rubber, which is largely overlooked but has a significant influence on the final overall result.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe basis of the Steinmusic Aventurin pickup systemis the harmonic construction of a cast bronze structure as the base in combination with a carbon\/mahogany body. Here too, we have optimized every detail to achieve an overall result at the highest level. The base is made of a special bronze alloy, which has been optimized for its acoustic properties. It is not machined, but cast in order to obtain a stress-free structure. The mass distribution and geometry of this base is optimized to give the generator a stable working base and to effectively dissipate resonances. After a long series of tests with different materials, we decided to use a composite of mahogany and carbon for the cabinet, in order to achieve the best tonal results in combination with the bronze base.
