The needle tip and cantilever are usually fixed with adhesive, but DS Audio Grand Master Extreme uses an one-piece diamond cantilever, which is made of a single diamond from the cantilever to the needle tip. The one-piece diamond cantilever does not use any adhesive at all, so it can detect the vibration of the needle tip more directly without losing any of the vibration of the needle tip.
We are very pleased with the result, and we are sure that our customers will be impressed by the difference in sound.
There is no doubt that Grand Master Extreme, which uses an one-piece diamond cantilever, the ultimate ideal form of cantilever and needle tip, has reached a new analog extreme.
One-piece diamond cantilever
The Grand Master Extreme uses a 0.22mm square one-piece diamond cantilever in which the diamond cantilever and needle tip are made of a single diamond.
The diamond tip of the cantilever and the needle tip are usually fixed together with an adhesive, but with the one-piece diamond cantilever, the cantilever and the needle tip are one piece, allowing for more direct transmission of information from the needle tip.
