The Gold Note Donatello Gold cartridge is a sophisticated, computer-designed body made of machined aluminum. Weighing only 7gram, it’s perfectly damped and firmly blocked to help the cantilever achieve the best tracking. Donatello has an ultra-rigid cantilever that handles a high precision Micro Elliptical diamond exclusively developed in collaboration with Adam Namiki and designed for top audio performance. Donatello’s diamond tip is mechanically inserted and locked into a long, stiffened aluminum cantilever, handled in a special titanium telescopic pipe to increase structural rigidity. Also feature a high internal impedance level, so that they can be easily matched with any active phono preamp MM and even correctly set up MC ones, without the need for any Step-Up transformer.
