Description
Philips GP 401 (946 D 59) | BLACK DIAMOND
This stylus has a high quality sound. The replica of analogis was made for the original needle Philips GP 401 (946 D 59) in “nude version”. This means that the pickup tip (the diamond) sits directly in the needle tube without a socket and therefore plays lightly and with a lot of movement, which is particularly noticeable in the resolution of the high tones.
The Philips GP pickup may be a bit underestimated. What this system does together with the BLACK DIAMOND is quite impressive. Dynamics kiss liveliness.
- Stylus cut: elliptical, nude
- Tracking force: approximately 1,65 – 2,15 g
Fits PHILIPS GP 400 and GP 500 series (without I, II)
Info | About the BLACK DIAMOND Series
These diamonds are made from a cut-to-length synthetic cuboid bar. Viewed under the microscope, you will hardly find an uglier diamond: the sides (not the cut!) are rough, the cut tends to be outside the center of the cuboid (off center cut) and the flanks appear unevenly long as a result. But if you then put the microscope on its side and close your eyes and just listen to the sound, you will see the true beauty of the BLACK DIAMOND series.
