Electret condenser cartridge, operation only with power supply SZ-1000, tonally very balanced, fine and largely impulse-freely drawing cartridge, good sampling behavior at low and high frequencies, only average FIM, because vertical track angle 2 to 4° too large. Inferior to the Ortofon MC-30 only at extremely large peak velocities (Shure record Era IV from the fourth level on orchestra bells and flute). Since no magnet is used in the pickup, no hum at all. Top class pickup at an acceptable price-quality ratio.
Toshiba C-400: Electret condenser pickup, output voltage with SZ-1000 8.5 mVs/cm, crosstalk attenuation 25 dB at 1 kHz, channel deviation <2dB at 1 kHz, needle compliance 10 mm/N, recommended load resistance >300 kQ, tracking force 10 to 15 mN, weight 6 g; price 900 DM including SZ-1000 equalizer preamplifier.
- Pickup needle: small, naked stone, not crystal oriented, very fine needle carrier, elliptical cut diamond, needle carrier not exchangeable
