Medium output, otherwise identical to Aida; itself a triumph of Soundsmith Engineering, Stereophile Class “A” rated, a rarity at its price point – and for good reasons. The Aida employs a single crystal Ruby Cantilever and our Optimized Contour Line Contact Stylus; we did this to resolve the challenges of playing the inner grooves with the same level of confidence as the outer. So how did we do this?
Also available in dual-coil mono.
- Cartridge Type: Special Order
- Output Voltage: > 1.1 mV
- Output: Medium
Made in the USA. Rebuild Price? $350 – Less Than 20% of MSRP ! ~ The Norma features a 2 year warranty to the original owner.
