Transrotor MM Cantare cartridge

£690.00

The Transrotor Cantare is a serious competitor to other manufacturers in this price range where you can find almost exclusively products such as Audio Technica, Denon, Ortofon and Goldring who have been making cartridges for over 50 years.

JAPANESE FINISH

The Transrotor Cantare, which connoisseurs will easily identify as a representative of Goldring's Eroica series.

The normal Eroica uses a Gyger II cut diamond, while the Cantare, made exclusively for Transrotor, has a so-called harmonic cut.

A Line-Contact cut carefully polished by the Japanese gemstone cutter Ogura.

The harmonic diamond is located at the end of a rather short aluminium needle holder, which protrudes from a very light (5.3 g) plastic case (Pocan). The Cantare is optimised with regard to the weight of the system and the flexibility of the needle (18 m/mN) for use in medium-weight tone arms.

Sonically, the Transrotor Cantare presents itself as a neutral but precise cell. This means, of course, in the first place that it is not noticeable by exaggerations. This does not mean that it is boring or too soft. The cantata can very well reproduce the strong attacks of a piano with good dynamics, without being overdone, even if the sound itself is not as transparent as the merlo reference

In the same price range as the Cantare, Transrotor offers the Uccello Reference, a moving magnet system also equipped with a harmonic diamond and also manufactured by Goldring.

The two cartridges are very similar tonally, although the Cantare has a slightly more precise and concise sound image.

A few highlights from high end:

@oephi_audio smashed it of course, but perhaps most shocking was their new entry level Ascendence speaker in a second room with @moonriveraudio. I was so taken aback I didn't even think to take out my phone to capture
A beautiful, sophisticated and spectacular system.

Soulnote A2 integrated amplifier 
Aurorasound Vida phonostage 
Transrotor Massimo Nero turntable 
Sonus Faber Maxima Amator loudspeakers

Hook this all up with @oephi_audio cables and away you go.
Qobuz Connect is live and working beautifully with @wattson_audio ! Has all the convenience of that "other" Connect but actually sounds good - correction, it sounds phenomenal.

Our partnering @exd.audio konNET switches delivering the goods
Joakim Juhl and Sven Boenicke are two passionate visionaries in audio - each carving out a distinct but complementary path in the pursuit of emotional, deeply engaging sound.

Joakim, the mind behind @oephi_audio approaches loudspeaker design as both
