Miyajima Spirit Mono: $
Like all Miyajima cartridges, the Spirit Mono uses a proprietary “cross-coil” motor, the fulcrum of which is optimized for linear dynamic performance; like all of the company’s mono cartridges, this one has a single coil and an 18µm-radius spherical stylus tip—and is unresponsive to vertical groove modulations. In short, the Spirit Mono is true mono. According to HR, the low-compliance, moderate-output (0.7mV) Spirit Mono “had a very seductive way of making records sound full-bodied and tangible. Images of musicians were realistically scaled, and there was always a noticeable sense of space.” The Spirit Mono is also available with a 76µm stylus for 78rpm records, or in a version called the Spirit Mono High, with an output of 3.7mV.
