BODY_VARIATIONS
Products 商品ページ: 商品ページ

First of all, this series was developed with the aim of playing old records with a different dimension of high sound quality.
It is intended for records made before 2000, preferably before the 1990s, SP records, mono records, and early stereo classical and jazz records.
To produce a good product with a cutting-edge concept, it is necessary to sacrifice something.
That is what manufacturers like us can achieve, but it is also something that mass production manufacturers cannot do.


・Equipped with the patented magnetic circuit "Magne Focus" developed by Vinyl Audio Laboratory.
・Unique high-speed power generation with the coil close to the tip of the stylus.
・"DuPontTM"'s genuine original material "Corian" that suppresses resonance is adopted for the body.
・Various know-how of the Japanese audio and manufacturing industry hidden in a simple structure
・Experts in R&D, parts development, and manufacturing

The cartridge developed by Vinyl Audio Laboratory has a structure in which a coil is brought close to the stylus tip and the coil is sandwiched between magnets.

We adopted this structure so that the tip of the stylus picks up the vibrations of the record without waste and quickly transmits them to the coil to generate electricity.​

Since the cantilever is a thin rod, it has some deflection and distortion.

Therefore, in a typical cartridge structure in which a needle tip and a coil are placed at both ends of the cantilever, the influence of the cantilever cannot be avoided until the vibration picked up by the needle tip is transmitted to the coil(s) through the cantilever.

In order to solve this problem, each company has devised and devised the material and shape of the cantilever.

Vinyl Audio Laboratory aimed to eliminate these uncertainties as much as possible, and to generate electricity by directly transmitting the vibration of the record picked up by the stylus to the coil.

The Vinyl Audio Laboratory named this cartridge structure "Magne Focus".

​​[Important Notice]

Regarding Product Inquiries and Procurement Channels
The products developed and manufactured by our laboratory are entirely handcrafted and individually inspected by a few staffs.

Because we deeply value delivering our products based on a transparent and sincere relationship of trust,

we kindly ask for your cooperation regarding procurement channels .

​

💡 Consult with Us Before Finalizing Channels

If you would like to ask whether it is possible to purchase through a specific dealer you frequently visit,

please feel free to consult with us via email beforehand.
However, if an arrangement or transaction channel is finalized before consulting with us,

and it involves an irresponsible broker,  we may not be able to guarantee proper product delivery or after-sales care.

In such cases, we may respectfully propose switching to a direct transaction, or we may be unable to accept the order.

Please consult with us via email during the planning stage of your purchase.


⚠️ Caution Regarding Non-Recommended and Irresponsible Intermediaries
On the other hand, there are certain intermediaries and unauthorized entities

with whom we cannot recommend dealing and with whom we have no association whatsoever.

Please exercise caution regarding procurement through intermediaries who display the following characteristics:

・Entitles who have not familiarized themselves with our technologies, products, how-to or policies, been never studying,

and are unable to explain them.
・Entities requesting direct shipment to the end customer without receiving the product themselves
・Brokers who accept orders from customers but refuse to handle or inspect the product,

requesting that our laboratory ship it directly to the customer solely to extract middleman margins.
・Entities offering no after-sales support to their own clients,
・Intermediaries who receive payment or margins from customers but completely abandon standard customer service,

such as explaining proper usage or assisting with initial care.
・Entities deflecting all issues or questions entirely to our laboratory
・Intermediaries
who refuse to assist when a question or issue arises between them and the customer,

simply telling the customer to deal with us directly while avoiding any accountability.
 

Our laboratory does not recognize the validity of such irresponsible entities,

and we cannot assume any responsibility for issues arising through these channels.


🎵 Please Share Your Passion for Music and Favorite Artists
Whether you contact us directly or through a trusted introduction,

we highly appreciate it if you could share the musical genres you enjoy and the specific artists you wish to hear in the highest fidelity.
