Torres/ DST201us/ Special models

Following the success of the Lacote, this model was developed in response to customer requests. Combining high-purity solid silver wire with a medium-weight magnet, it is our first silver-wired cartridge construction. Experience with this model has shown that silver wiring does not necessarily lead to overly pronounced highs, something we have successfully avoided. As a result, the cartridge has been praised by critics and listeners alike for delivering a naturally balanced and refined sound.
