The Solid-core Line


The TEDESKA Solid-Core line takes its name from the generator construction. In these cartridges, the rear part of the cantilever and the coil core are manufactured  as a single piece from solid material. Combined with its non-ferromagnetic nature of the generator design, the performance of this air-cored system is highly dependent on the quality and type of wiring. Producing a perfect example of this line is a demanding task, but the reward is a delicately nuanced, almost fairy-like sound. Each cartridge in this line not only reveals the finest musical nuances but also embodies the characteristic charm of a low-output system.
