Grand Master Extreme

Analog extreme ONE PIECE DIAMOND

"Despite my adoration of Decca, Soundsmith and Koetsu pick-ups, HFN Feb ’21 saw me write, ‘The Grand Master is so truly supreme in resolution, transparency, spatial recreation, neutrality and any other parameter I can name that it’s impossible for me to not say what I usually try to avoid: “This may be the best cartridge I’ve ever heard”’. This time, I cannot deny: the Grand Master Extreme is even better."

Cartridge

One-piece diamond cantilever

The Grand Master Extreme employs a 0.22mm square one-piece diamond cantilever, where the diamond cantilever and the needle tip are crafted from a single diamond. Typically, the diamond tip of the cantilever and the needle tip are bonded together using adhesive. However, with the one-piece diamond cantilever, the cantilever and the needle tip are integrated into a single unit, enabling a more direct transmission of information from the needle tip.
