"This cartridge was the clear winner. It combines many of the best qualities of the 2M Black, such as the precise rendering of a
tremendous amount of detail, solid imaging and soundstage, and excellent bass and mid-bass reproduction, with the musicality and tonal
richness of the Nagaoka MP-200, without directly resembling either of them. It's a tough act to follow."1

THE VESSEL STYLUS R3SM
- Much more than music.With its hardness and soundspeed, Ruby has far higher sensitivity to stimuli from groove modulations. The refined cylindrical Ruby cantilever in the R3SM discovers and unveils more subtleties of motion — twists, turns and flows — more material from groove modulations, more energy sheltered within record grooves thus conveying more inspired sentience and realism. With its Microline diamond tip, it offers remarkable radiance and luminosity along with a fast, transparent and natural presentation that immerses you with your music.
