Description: The innovative design of Vasari cartridges, achieved through computer modeling, has been developed to reach the peak performance of any MM cartridges. Its high-damping body, made of a single machined piece of aluminum 7000 alloys, and its ultra-rigid and light aluminum cantilever, make the Vasari a superb tracker allowing the diamond stylus to extract all the information from the vinyl groove.
Vasari Shibata – The New Frontier of MM Cartridges: The new Vasari Shibata, thanks to the peculiar shape of its stylus designed by Mr. Shibata in the 70s – basically an evolution of the elliptical shape with extra special cuts on one end creating a hybrid asymmetrical shape – allows an incredible increase of surface area contact while significantly reducing total pressure into the vinyl groove. The result is that the Vasari Shibata can produce a nearly perfect playback reaching all areas of the vinyl groove but reducing the wear of both the record and the diamond.
