Further demonstrating AJ van den Hul's incredible talent for putting science and technology at the service of musical reproduction, The Canary is a completely handcrafted moving coil cartridge that uses moving coils with monocrystalline gold windings in an innovative construction. open that allows structural resonances to be drastically reduced, to which the nylon construction of the body also contributes. To the refined engineering that has made The Canary possible, we must also add a powerful AlNiCo magnet and an extremely robust cantilever that also helps to dissipate possible partial vibrations. The result is a tonally neutral transducer that also has low sensitivity to variations in load impedance.
