Other Notes: "Carmen is an extrodinary cartridge. It's 50x occlusion free diamond is ground to a true elliptical design giving it a huge resolution advantage over other elliptical designs. Carmen offers smoothness of tone that is special in this price range. This cartridge works well with most tonearms since it weighs in at 6.8 grams. Very forgiving medium conpliance suspension. 2.12mV Output.
With its ultra-low moving mass, reasonably high output and low vertical tracking force, this is a cartridge you should have a listen to. For those who want a sensual, intuitive and detailed sound this cartridge should be just what you are asking for."
