Magnetic circuit

Once the mechanical assembly had been perfected the next area to which particular attention was paid was the magnetic circuit.

From numerous tests carried out on a variety of materials and configurations, it was established that different types of magnetic materials exert a subtle influence on the perceived quality of the final sound.

After further extensive research the optimal magnetic circuit was found to be electro magnetically generated. This, however, requires a separate DC power supply and is very costly to implement. Therefore, only a cartridge producing the absolute ultimate in performance could employ such a system… and the IO Limited was born.

Audio Note UK IO Limited field-coil cartridge system Review

There are lots of cartridges out there, a handful of manufacturers being responsible for the vast majority of the technologies and shapes of them. Swapping cartridges in and out of the system to enjoy a slightly different flavor of one’s favorite music is part of the charm of the analog...

...The sonic assertiveness of the IO Ltd was such that a reckoning of what was likely a step or two closer to the master tape performance surfaced with either the M6 or the Xs. It was as if a seemingly straight and unbridled transmission of melodrama passed directly from the IO Ltd’s field-coil to the stators of the Sound Lab electrostatic panel speakers, both externally charged, thus rendering a listening experience both pure and unique...

The complex kinematics of the Thiele TA01 combines the exact and firm guidance of a pivoted tonearm with the advantages of a linear tracking tonearm. This design enables a guiding of the pickup with a lateral tracking angle error of less than 0,036 degrees. The double wall tonearm-tube is filled with 2 component-gel for optimum damping. The design results in a unique spatial resolution, extreme richness of detail and perfect tonality.

[TGD]

Το gyro έβγαινε και σε μπρονζε με καφέ καπάκι. Πολύ σπάνιο.

 

[marlboro]

Καθόλου σπάνιο. Ήταν θέμα παραγγελίας. Υπήρχαν 3 αποχρώσεις και στο gyrodec και στο orbe. Πλέον υπάρχουν περισσότερες. Στο orbe μάλιστα το καπάκι μπορούσε να έχει άλλη απόχρωση από την βάση.

What’s with the Roman helmet atop the headshell? Is it science-based or a tribute to 50s era gladiator movies? Is the Starship Enterprise at the back of the arm on a five-year mission to explore new musical worlds? Is it doomed to forever orbit planets Hell Freezes Over and Keith Don’t Go, or will it boldly go where no audiophile tonearm has gone before?

Though the GMT® One’s design appears fanciful and somewhat “steam punk”-like, Wilson Benesch claims, and the evidence it provided indicates, that science guided its looks. The proof is in the listening and based upon that—and I’ve had more than four months with it— I must conclude that the system, the combination of the Tessellate cartridge and the turntable produced the best sound I’ve heard from vinyl records of every musical genre.

Price: $302,000 ($371,900 as reviewed)
