*SHIBATA Cut: The SHIBATA cut is a specialized diamond stylus profile for turntable cartridges. In comparison to traditional elliptical or conical cuts, the SHIBATA cut features a larger surface area that enhances the contact area between the stylus and the record groove. This allows it to extract more detailed information from the record grooves. Consequently, it leads to more precise sound reproduction and reduces wear on the vinyl since the pressure is distributed across a larger area. The SHIBATA cut is particularly favored among audiophiles due to its superior sound quality.
