Key features include a nude semi-line stylus, a Solid boron cantilever and high purity coils that give it a 0.45mV output.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring testing we really enjoyed its sound.Instruments sounded clear and bass seemed extended compared to many other MC cartridges we have tested.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular Mutech Hyabusa also has the benefit of being repaired\/refurbished by the experts at VAS. This should give the new owner some piece of mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe opted to mount this cartridge on an OEM Technics Heashell. It was calibrated using our 12 step process ($390) for a 1200G\/1200GME. If you would like the cartridge by itself and without a head-shell please contact us on purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSkyFi Cosmetic Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeadhsell has some small scratches where the screws mount.

We then perform a light cleaning with specialized agents and very carefully blow dry with compressed air.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing that, we conduct a thorough examination using our Wild Heerbrugg professional microscope. From there we can asses the wear and quality of the stylus and determine how much use it has seen, and if there are any mechanical issues. We can also identify if it needs further cleaning or care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe then move the cartridge to a digital microscope where we take photos of the cantilever and stylus for future reference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNext we move to the test bench where we can check for continuity of each channel and resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn certain cartridges (or if the technician feels necessary) we install the cartridge on a turntable and run several test records to ascertain tacking ability, distortion, and compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mutech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48078439317758,"sku":"106565","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/3275\/9084\/files\/mutech-hayabusa-mc-phono-cartridge-pre-mounted-for-1200g-605.jpg?v=1776374403","url":"https:\/\/skyfiaudio.com\/en-au\/products\/mutech-hayabusa-mc-phono-cartridge-pre-mounted-for-1200g","provider":"SkyFi Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
