TechDAS latest cartridge is TDC-01 Dia. The main difference between previous TDC-01 and TDC-01 Ti is the use of diamond cantilever. It is not ordinary diamond cantilever but a tapered pipe one.

There is not much information about tapered pipe diamond cantilever but it must be the first cartridge to use it. A hollow tube reduces mass and enhances rigidity. It is be beneficial to signal transmission. The actual cantilever is a black rod, not the usual transparent diamond rod.

The package of TDC-01 Dia is remarkable, it comes with a lot of accessories including tracking force gauge, ceramic screwdriver, bamboo plier, titanium cartridge screws and cartridge wires. This is the most comprehensive package of accessories I have seen in any cartridge.

The most important thing, of course, is the sound. TDC-01 Dia has the highest resolving power I have heard in any MC cartridge. The resolution is simply amazing. The sound is still neutral and is not harsh. This must be the effect of tapered pipe diamond cantilever. I am very impressed by its performance and its selling price is also very reasonable. I highly recommend it.IMG_4413.JPGIMG_E4415.JPGIMG_4416.JPG

Enjoy reading your posts. Curious about the Nordost Sort Kone resting on the TT in the 3rd photo. Does it serve a specific function?
