Hear Analog with Unwavering Realism: Japanese-Made My Sonic Lab Signature Gold MC Phono Cartridge Excels at Energy, Expressiveness, Punch, Power, Extension, and Tracking

Energy, expressiveness, and punch come as easily to the My Sonic Lab Signature Gold MC phono cartridge as effortless tracking. Extremely transparent and afforded just a whisper of warmth, the award-winning Japanese-built design pairs an Extra Super Duralumin alloy body with a Super Duralumin cantilever, consummate wiring, and souped-up suspension to transmit analog with unwavering realism.

A stronger two-component chassis, higher-grade internal wiring, and improvements in the suspension equate to an addictively refined presentation. A 10% larger – compared to its siblings – SH-μX core permits Signature Gold to excel at conveying emotion and power. Compared to the manufacturer's Eminent designs, Signature Gold offers more extension, slam, and dynamic range. Once you insert this Stereo Sound Grand Prix Award-winning model in your analog chain, you'll likely never go back to another cartridge again.

"It throws an impressively wide and deep soundstage that is laser-focused, with naturally wide as well as nuanced dynamics that really pop. It also tracks flawlessly."
—Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound 

Four Decades of Cartridge-Building Expertise: My Sonic Lab
My Sonic Lab cartridges are the labors of master cartridge designer Yoshio Matsudaira seeking natural reproduction by minimizing signal loss, internal distortion, and phase distortion. All of the company's cartridges utilize Matsudaira's unique SH-μX magnetic core, a special material with higher permeability and flux density than the typical iron core material used in MC cartridges. It also allows My Sonic Lab to use fewer coil windings than other MC cartridges, minimizing music-robbing distortions and maximizing signal output. The high-efficiency approach translates into wide dynamic range, fast transient response, low distortion, and a high signal-to-noise ratio.
