Puritas

Key Features

STRUCTURE MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE

First, every LP record master is engraved using an LP cutting lathe’s cutter head. The Puritas moving coil(MC) cartridge is designed to reproduce music via a mechanism that emulates the LP cutting lathe’s cutter head, of course, however, with a diamond stylus that tracks the record grooves’ faces, rather than with a diamond chisel for cutting the grooves into the vinyl.

Second, the Puritas has two separate hollow polycarbonate bobbins, as opposed to one bobbin designed as an iron square or cross-block.

Third, iron is about nine times heavier than poly carbonate, so a conventional iron bobbin reacts with far less agility to the musical grooves of a vinyl record than one made of hollow polycarbonate.

Fourth, as a cantilever moves along the vinyl’s grooves, it needs a pivot. Conventional MC cartridges’ coils are located near the pivot because of their heavy moving mass. Because of its lighter moving mass, relative to conventional MC cartridges, the Allnic Puritas’s coils are nearer to the diamond stylus. The result for the Puritas is increased coil vibration capability and, therefore, more detailed audio reproduction.

The Puritas also features:

• solid aluminium body
• solid boron cantilever ($5500) or solid aluminium cantilever ($3900)
• zinc mounting plate
• MicroRidge stylus
