🔥 Save $700 on the Fideles Sublime — The Cartridge That Redefines Value
Was $2,695 — Now $1,995
Derived from the Latin meaning faithful, yet agile and lively, the Acoustical Systems Fideles Sublime is a one-of-a-kind cartridge designed to bring top-level design, sound, and material quality to entry high-end budgets.
This is not just another cartridge — the Fideles Sublime sets an all-new standard for performance and value.
Why the Fideles Sublime Is Special
The Fideles Sublime is a different animal compared to its competitors. This is a high-output Moving Ferrum Pipe (MFP) cartridge with ALL the core features of a top-flight MC cartridge:
- Titanium 1100 body — typically found in $7K–$15K MC cartridges
- Boron cantilever — ultra-lightweight and rigid for exceptional tracking
- Shibata EVO stylus — advanced profile for superior groove contact
- 3.8 mV output — high enough to work with MM phono stages, no step-up needed
- Easy tonearm matching — works with ALL modern tonearms
This is by far the best MFP cartridge on the market today and a serious contender against Moving Coils in the $5K–$8K range.
Performance That Rivals the Best
The Fideles Sublime delivers:
- Extended frequency response: 18–25kHz with exceptional linearity
- Tight channel balance: +/- 0.8 dB for precise imaging
- High output: 3.8 mV — no expensive step-up transformer required
- Optimal tracking: 1.7–1.85 grams tracking force
- Advanced stylus profile: Shibata EVO (0.25 x 0.75 mil) for maximum detail retrieval
You get reference-level sound quality without the reference-level price tag.
