Fideles Sublime

Derived from the Latin, meaning faithful, yet agile and lively. “The one-of-a-kind cartridge was designed to introduce top-level design, sound, and material quality to entry high-end budgets – the Fideles sets an all-new standard for performance and value alike.”

18-25kHz +/-0.8 dB 3.8 mV 17 mm/N 22° Shibata EVO 0.25 x 0.75 mil Boron 1.7 to 1.85 grams

The Fideles Sublime is a different animal compared to its brothers. This is the approach to designing a high-output Moving Ferrum Pipe cartridge with ALL the core features of a top-flight MC cartridge. Titanium 1100 body, a Boron cantilever, and Shibata EVO stylus – feature of (some) MC cartridges in the range of 7k to 15k MSRP. This in combination with super compact and lightweight Ferrum pipes results in a cartridge with 3.5 mV output and an easy-moving mass match for ALL modern tonearms.

This is by far the best MFP cartridge on the market today and a serious contender in the 5-8k range of Moving Coils today.
