The Progressive Line
The TEDESKA Progressive line represents our versatile stereo cartridge designs, developed along the classical principles of MC cartridge construction. At its core lies a modern generator architecture combined with a specially compartmented tone-wood housing interior, allowing the well-proven generator design to be reborn as a refined solution for a wide range of high-end audio systems. Models from the Progressive line are known for their broad compatibility and an engaging musical character. For listeners seeking an additional noble touch, selected versions are also available with AlNiCo magnet.
