Kensington C-800 Moving Coil Cartridge
The C800 blends cutting-edge materials with precise engineering. With a ruby cantilever and ultra-pure copper coils, it delivers breathtaking tonal richness, depth, and a true sense of space.
Crafted for the Connoisseur of Analogue Perfection
With the C800, a leap is made into reference-level performance. Built around a rare ruby cantilever and pure 6N copper coils, it delivers extraordinary tonal purity, nuance, and spatial realism.
Ruby Cantilever with Elliptical Fine Line Stylus
This rigid, resonance-resistant cantilever ensures incredibly precise signal transfer. The elliptical stylus uncovers subtle groove modulations with natural balance and finesse.
6N OCC Coils
Constructed with 99.9999% pure copper, this coil architecture offers superior signal purity and a rich, vibrant presentation with black backgrounds and crystalline treble.
Extended Dynamic Capability
Operating at 0.32mV with 6-ohm impedance, the C800 offers effortless headroom and clarity. Its ~0.5dB channel balance and tracking stability make it a formidable choice for refined systems.
Low Distortion, High Fidelity
With its exceptional 70µm tracking ability and slightly elevated compliance, the C800 delivers microdetail and timing with confidence – while keeping distortion vanishingly low.
