Alphason Cartridge Stabiliser Introduced at The UK Audio Show 2024

Alphason discovers clarity beyond distortion in the quest for 'True-Life' sound.

Alphason Audio states that cartridge instability is a problem that anyone serious about their vinyl source must banish, and the new Alphason Cartridge Stabiliser is the cure.

The force of the stylus tracking the vinyl groove gives rise to vibrational energy, which excites resonances in the tonearm and turntable. These resonances modulate the cartridge, resulting in the colouration Alphason defines as Cartridge Instability Distortion.

These bad vibes mask essential harmonics and timbres, keeping you from a true-to-life listening experience and leaving you emotionally disconnected from the original performance.

Mike Knowles, the visionary behind the legendary HR-100S and advanced HR-200S tonearm (below), has overcome this distortion with the Alphason Cartridge Stabiliser.

We are told that this innovation dissipates vibrational energy and stabilises the cartridge, allowing it to deliver unparalleled dynamics, imaging, and clarity.

Mike says:

Direct coupling preserves the essence of the performance while maintaining transient and 'first cycle' accuracy, together with dynamics, timing, and phasing. This accessory is compatible with most cartridges and tonearms and is essential for achieving pin-sharp imaging and a true-life listening experience.

You can even try it with a 30-day sale or return trial. The precision-engineered Cartridge Stabiliser costs £39.99.

Alphason will be at The UK Audio Show on the 5th and 6th of October in Syndicate Room 29.

Mike will present "Get Closer to True-Life Performance with your Cartridge and Tonearm" at 12:30 in the Exter Suite on both days. In his talk, Mike will explain exactly how Cartridge Instability Distortion impacts playback and how the Cartridge Stabiliser overcomes it by managing vibrational energy.

SHOW DEAL: Try the Alphason Cartridge Stabiliser️ with a 30-day sale or return trial and enjoy an exclusive 20% discount when you order within 14 days of the show.
