Product Highlights

Comes with a 1-Year Warranty

Specifications include a 5.5 mV output, 18 Hz to 25 kHz frequency response, 1.7-1.8g tracking force, and a true elliptical stylus. The Acoustical Systems Fideles high-end moving magnet cartridge features a unique double-magnet, moving ferrum pipe generator. It is housed in a CNC-machined solid Titanium Timet 1100 body, providing exceptional energy transfer and strength at a 10.5g mass. Three rows of built-in mounting threads ensure fast, flexible overhang adjustments and an easy mechanical match with most low- to medium-mass tonearms.

Reviews praise the cartridge for delivering an incredibly dynamic, open, and lifelike presentation with rich, natural tone. Enthusiasts report that its trackability of over 90 µm easily outperforms standard benchmarks, revealing micro-details and a wide soundstage. Users emphasize that its high output pairs seamlessly with standard phono inputs without needing step-up transformers, yielding moving-coil-level refinement through a forgiving, easy installation process.

Experiencing this tier of acoustic resolution typically demands fussy fine-tuning and costly high-gain components, making an efficient, high-performance solution highly desirable. By blending an elite titanium chassis with seamless system compatibility, it effortlessly extracts hidden dimensions from vinyl grooves with striking musicality and realism. Upgrading to this cartridge is the definitive path to unlocking the full potential of a turntable, turning everyday listening into an immersive, front-row concert experience.
