The combination of clarity and detail in the mids, the drive and energy around the lower frequencies but also the low noise and focus across the soundstage as whole was completely engaging and threatened to ruin my entire working day because it was tough to tear myself away from the music. Hmmm, should I take a day off? It was one of those reviews. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Rigby, The Audiophile Man\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eDescription\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Aladdin MK II is manufactured by renowned cartridge manufacturer Soundsmith.  Not only is this cartridge exceptional in its performance but it follows the Soundsmith tradition of a high value investment with full restoration and stylus rebuilding at 20% of its price when renewal is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis can be carried out many times over for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aladdin MK II enjoys a great heritage, starting with the well loved Zephyr original, which evolved into the well known Zephyr MKIII. In Soundsmiths effort to bring even higher definition with high value for money, theyve introduced the NEW Aladdin MK II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt features a newly developed aluminum alloy the same one now used in the Soundsmith Paua MKII, just released. This new metal alloy has unique dualistic properties, providing stiffness in the ranges required as well as damping exactly where its needed and by the proper amount in the most critical parts of the sonic spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result  is a cartridge that will slam your Rock and Roll while providing a new level of linearity and clarity for the most complex classical and jazz passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttached to the new cantilever material is a tiny new super low mass High Profile Contact Line diamond specially developed for a new generation of cartridges including the Aladdin MK II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stylus traces more of the groove walls than a standard contact line, but avoids some of the alignment pitfalls that can occur with a high profile contact line design, allowing more azimuth alignment forgiveness than is normally possible with such designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese improvements are paired with technology borrowed from Soundsmiths higher end line;  Trickle Down technology from a unique Dynamic Energy Management System  (DEMS) developed by Soundsmith that moves the damped energy and propagates it properly within the cartridge body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a similar system employ in the Soundsmiths well received and reviewed high end Sussurro Cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Aladdin MK II is capable of truly remarkable separation and sound stage imaging at a level not previously achievable in a modestly priced design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composite body and unique DEMS design work in tandem contribute to the Aladdin MK2s ability to produce high-end performance from a moderately priced cartridge. Be prepared to sit back and realizeyou may have never really  heard your record collection before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aladdin MK II will provide a level of clarity and beauty that will make you take out your record collection and listen to it all over again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Fixed Coil \/ Moving Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: Standard ½\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus: Ultra Low Mass Nude High Profile Contact Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius of Curvature: 6 x 17 µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCantilever: New high strength Aluminum Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Tracking Force: 1.8 2.2 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective Tip Mass: 0.28 mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliance: 10 µm\/mN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 15 45,000 Hz ± 2.0 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Separation @ 1000 Hz: \u0026gt; 28 dB, N\/A (Mono version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Separation @ 50 15,000 Hz: \u0026gt; 25 dB, N\/A (Mono version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Difference: \u0026lt; 1.0 dB \u0026lt; 0.5 dB (Dual Mono w\/optimal VTF setting) Output Voltage @ 5cm\/sec: \u0026gt; 2.40 mV (HIGH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC Resistance (DCR): 680\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoil Inductance per channel: 190 mH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuggested Pre-amp Gain: 38 44 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Weight: 10.25 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Load Resistance: 47k\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Load Capacitance: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Origin Live","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938588262666,"sku":"ORIGINLIVE-7997","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/origin-live-aladdin-mk2-39724-p.png?v=1760363474","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/ori-liv-ala-mk2","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
