TEDESKA Amalfi
A direct-coupled headshell with integrated high-precision lead wires
Amalfi is designed exclusively for TEDESKA half-inch systems. Each headshell comes complete with a full set of original GUTS-C or GUTS-S, according to the generator type of the half-inch system it will be paired with.
The Amalfi brings the benefits of our dose systems to half-inch users, designed for the stability and uniformity of TEDESKA L & K models. Its cartridge-to-tonearm connections are made in a single run to ensure uninterrupted current flow. Every Amalfi is hand-crafted from the same materials as our cartridges.
The distance between the tonearm mount and the diamond tip is variable
7mm scope of application.
The same wood connection as dose models, optionally available with pure silver or pure copper contact pins.
The integreted lead wires extend to the edge of the tonarm contact pins, reducing 4 superfluous resistance spots.
Azimut fine-adjusment without plugging out the headshell part.

important !
Only the original screws (M2.5) should be used for mounting cartridge.
Directly coupled design
The connection runs as one continuous line from A to B. This line is made using the same inductor materials as the cartridge, ensuring optimal conductivity and tonal integrity.
Below ist an example of a pure silver-lined configuration: a combination of TEDESKA Tielke and TEDESKA Amalfi with GUTS-S, featuring only 8 connection joints.
