Micha Huber is known for his distinguished analog creations and has already proven this with the minimalist and highly refined analog products in the form of turntables and iconic double-tube tonearms. Now he continues his analog legacy with brand new products and company. Huber is a perfectionist, as all his products show, and his latest creation and venture X-quisite is no different!
The very first glance at a beautiful and meticulously crafted X-quisite X-quisite CA MC pickup system brings excitement. But the magnificent outer shell is only part of the genuine audiophile thrill. The excitement continues with the CA inner heart of the X-quisite, the low output MC inner core, and the unique and patented monoblock ceramic transducer technology.
