Aidas Cartidges - Baby Mammoth Gold Cartridge

Item Description

Gold series cartridges are the Top performers in Aidas cartridges portfolio. Their uniqueness are of different body materials and 24kt pure Gold coils.

Gold plated coils do sound very natural and detailed.

Baby Mammoth Gold cartridge is recommended for light mass tonearms!

The Aidas Gold PL cartridges come with 2 different bodies: Tru-stone Blue River Agate and Mammoth tusk body. The Aidas Mammoth Gold is the newest

and the most advanced of the Aidas cartridges. The cartridge’s body is made with the ivory from 21,000 year old Siberian wooly mammoth tusks.

Mammoth tusk is the best and most unique material Aidas could ever find for his top cartridges. According to his experimental data, as it has very unique

properties sound-wise, it is better than true-stone, exotic wood or light metals. It was even compared to other types of bone /
horn (deer) material and is far more superior. It is super strong and damps unwanted vibrations perfectly.

Compared to deer or buffalo horn material Mammoth is denser – no air bubbles and fewer impurities. Purest possible. Rare and expensive. But still obtainable.

Every Mammoth cartridge body is a precision machined piece of art handmade of various parts of Mammoth tusk (pics below). Bodies may have:

• hairline cracks (glued, stabilised and polished);
• color differences;
• dark grooves.

All above is considered distinctive and original aesthetic features of each cartridge and therefore there are no 2 uniform Mammoth cartridge bodies – they are all unique.

Enjoy!
