Tedeska DST 201U

Cartridges of utmost refinement for the advanced vinyl connoisseur
The Tedeska DST 201U is a handmade moving coil stereo half inch cartridge from Berlin, built around a body of tonewood, brass, bone and nacre that is finished like a fine musical instrument. Every sample is assembled from tip to pins by Hyun Lee, with voicing that focuses on tonal balance, natural colour and emotional expressiveness rather than clinical analysis alone.

With a low output of 0.3 mV, wide 20 Hz to 35 kHz bandwidth and carefully controlled compliance, the DST 201U rewards high quality phono stages and tonearms with dense tone, strong microdynamics and precise, holographic imaging. It is aimed squarely at listeners who value texture and intimacy as much as resolution.
