First I’ve heard of them…Japanese DS E1?? Anyone hear it?
Thoughts??
I don’t understand how it can be an improvement. Supposedly makes noise disappear. To me that sounds like it’s not fully reading the grove???

System (includes dedicated pre amp) starts at $2700. Super cool looking (LED on the front of the cartridge).

It’s not a laser. Has an aluminum(?) stylus and beams the vibration onto a optical receiver…. don’t quote me on that…

After 25 years it’s fair game, but I don’t know when this was made (and depending on how the IP is written, sometimes easy to work around).
