Homogenix Gold – MC-cartridge made of precious wood
17.12.2024 12:26 | ~1 minute read
Homogenix Gold is a very interesting MC-cartridge for vinyl turntables. The highlight of the system is the body made of year 1512 fir wood, as the company claims, a real treasure, akin to the wood from which Stradivarius violins were made. Homogenix Gold’s incredible sound reproduction capabilities are also achieved by using High End materials in other parts of the cartridge – a sapphire cantilever, a diamond stylus with Micro Ridge sharpening and coils wound with pure 7N copper.
Specifications include 30 dB channel separation, a cartridge impedance of 16 Ohms and an output voltage of 0.22 mV. The recommended tracking force is 2.2g (± 0.3g). The icing on the cake is the exquisite cartridge body shell, made from silver 930 gold plating.
