ADC ST XLM II

Diasa tipped cartridge mounted to a carbon fiber head shell for straight tone arms

Brand NEW FACTORY SEALED old stock

This is a very nice phono cartridge. I purchased several of these years ago to use with my Denon DP-52F. It has performed flawlessly and is my favorite cartridge. It is time to let this spare go.

This is the Improved Omni Pivot model with the newer green colored elastomeric pivot. The older models with the black elastomeric pivot tend to harden over time reducing the frequency response.

Information from Vinyl Engine:

Description

Since the magnet itself in a moving magnet cartridge contributes significantly to its mass, ADC created and patented an induced magnet cartridge that reduces the mass in the moving system. This allows the stylus to track with a lower force resulting in superior tracing accuracy and low distortion.

The XLM II Improved has a Diasa tip, a diamond bonded to sapphire. Instead of the usual aluminium bushing to hold the diamond, the diamond tip is bonded to a sapphire base synthesizing a nude jewel mounting with very low mass.

The XLM is also available as the Integra, with the cartridge built into a molded carbon fiber head shell.
