Carmen is highly resolving, with an unparalleled purity of tone and an ultra-smooth presentation. Carmen is a very special cartridge, its stylus is a large part of what makes it special. Starting with a very high-purity stone, Carmen's diamond is a 50x occlusion free diamond. A true elliptical design, Soundsmith grinds the entire diamond not just the front and rear, giving Carmen a huge resolution advantage over other elliptical designs and a smoothness of tone that is unique in this price range.
