Acoustical Systems Fideles Purist Cartridge

The Fidelis Purist is a cartridge featuring a round/spherical stylus for the audiophile who wants a “no problem“cartridge for a collection of very old records.

Providing a “relaxed“approach yet with detailed and live-like sound, the Purist is easy going on records with scratches and worn grooves thanks to its “old school 1960“spherical stylus shape, which will help a lot in enjoying music and good sonics on records which will be hardly listenable played back with a modern stylus.

It is quite similar to the virtues of an old Ortofon SPU – just here, w/o the need for step-up SUT or heavy vintage tonearm.

Its spherical stylus makes it a “no-brainer“for collectors of old vintage records as it allows optimum tracking without the need for any alignment to different SRA / VTA tracking angles!

It is a universal cartridge for every audiophile on a budget who nevertheless wants good sound on almost every record, even worn ones, and no problem with gain on the phono stage. It works on literally ANY tonearm with no problems or difficulties meeting a good resonance frequency.
