Analog Relax has\u00a0created\u00a0its EX1000 phono cartridge based on unique materials.\u00a0First of all, it is a body made of very hard 2,000-year-old yakushigi wood, an extremely rare cedar.\u00a0This tree is native to the small island of Yakushima, located in the southern region of Kyushu.<\/p>\n

It grows very slowly, and the resin-impregnated annual rings are only a millimeter thick and have a unique cellular structure.\u00a0Due to the uniqueness of the material, the EX1000 will be released in a limited edition.\u00a0At the same time, the manufacturer warned that the texture and color of the wood will change over time.<\/p>\n

Another material used in the EX1000 is ruby, a type of corundum.\u00a0This name is better known in industrial applications – the mineral ranks second in hardness after diamond.\u00a0And it is from the machined ruby \u200b\u200bthat the EX1000 needle holder is made.\u00a0The diamond was also not without – the Super Curve Line Contact Ver needle itself is made of it.\u00a02.<\/p>\n

Pickup type Analog Relax EX1000 – MC (Moving Coil).\u00a0High purity copper wire is used as a winding.\u00a0The system used the field of a composite neodymium magnet – in particular, thanks to this, a signal with a peak-to-peak value of 0.5 mV (1 kHz) can be obtained at the output.<\/p>\n

The cartridge made by Japanese craftsmen is already available on order with a prepayment.\u00a0The Analog Relax EX1000 pickup was priced at $ 16,000 in the US.<\/p>\n
