X-quisite CA is a high-performance moving coil cartridge built around X-quisite’s patented monobloc ceramic transducer technology. Unlike conventional cartridges where the cantilever and coil former are separate components joined together, the CA uses a single continuous ceramic structure for both, eliminating a mechanical interface within the transducer and providing exceptional rigidity and precise transmission of stylus movement to the generator.
A Micro Ridge diamond stylus, 4N pure copper coils and neodymium-Armco magnetic system contribute to its clarity, transient speed and precise retrieval of musical detail. The generator is housed within an aluminium and wood sandwich body engineered to control unwanted resonance, while the reduced-eddy-current magnetic circuit and medium 12µm/mN compliance complete a distinctive Swiss-made moving coil design focused on mechanical integrity and accurate signal generation.
