Ever wanted to know, what your phono cartridge sounds like dead flat??


This new "GaN Technology" Class-D Integrated phono amp from Technics can equalize your cartridge flat for you using a test record that comes with it.

After reading about Technic's reason for why stylus cross talk happens and how the cross talk canceler works in this new amp.
I believe "maybe" I was told the wrong explanation of what causes stylus cross talk all those years ago when I was young and impressionable by Neville Thiele (rip)  and Otto Major (rip) all those years ago

Interesting they use this very high end vinyl play setup.

This is the turntable/arm and cartridge they used with the Technics and ref calibration record.

" The analog player is a self-made machine with the reference turntable Technics "SP-10R" mounted on a laminated board. The board is a one-make product made by a friend (deceased) in the United States by a trader, and is a heavyweight class using Panzerholz plywood, which is not distributed in Japan.

The tone arm is the "AC-3000MC" made by the former Audiocraft, which gained popularity with one-point support.

The headshell made by Mysonic is equipped with an MC type phono cartridge called "PLATANUS 2.0S", which is the debut work of his own brand Platanus by experienced builder Tetsuya Sukehiro."

The reason I bought my first Dynavector Karat D3 years ago was because it had an almost perfect flat frequency response.
