Introduction:
The Audio MusiKraft
Nitro
high performance stereo phono cartridge is a - low output moving coil -
type. It is a fully modular and recyclable concept in a unique precisely-machined two (2) part housing
design – top plate and base- which at first sight allows for quick generator servicing or
interchangeability. The shell (body) assembly is built to accept three (3) small pieces of either wood
species or other upgradable material inserted within our numerous metalized structured shells of
varying weight and finishes. In addition, three (3) micro-setscrews – two (2) lateral and one (1) frontal –
to control mechanical resonance allowing delicate fine-tuning of the cartridges
interpretation
of certain
sonic parameters; in effect permitting personal voicing of the final system sound or
satisfaction
control. Thirdly, the top plate of the housing complies with EIA standards with ten (10) threaded holes
instead of the usual two (2), thus providing ample setup possibilities without the need of displacing the
tonearm for proper overhang. The sharp-edge squarish profile and face are also a deliberate decision
to ease the setup with strong visual cues, for proper visual VTA and azimuth alignment. The concept
is particularly well suited for unlimited aftermarket upgrades.
