About the Karat 17D3
The Dynavector Karat 17D3 is the first cartridge built using 'dispersion' theory, which focuses on minimizing frequency dispersion for improved sound quality. Its Micro-Ridge stylus and short 1.7mm solid diamond cantilever contribute to unmatched dynamics and a high frequency extension up to 100kHz. The latest patented magnet circuit design increases the output to 0.3mV, providing clear sound even during complex musical passages. The cartridge is notable for its gemstone cantilever and precise stylus mounting. It also features a flux damping mechanism and softened magnetism, which help eliminate harshness and provide a natural sound.
