EBI-Audio Khumar Moving Coil Cartridge

Moving-coil stereo cart with an ebony shell

The specialty of the Khumar cartridge is its ability to deliver rich, warm tones with incredible detail and clarity. With a low-resonance body and a high-quality stylus, this cartridge is designed to minimize distortion and maximize audio fidelity.

The Khumar cartridge is also highly versatile, able to handle a wide range of musical genres and playback styles, whilst offering great durability and longevity. The wooden shell is hand-crafted ebony, which is an extremely dense and richly toned wood.
