Skyanalog P-2 MC cartridge
OverviewThe P2 is the next model from Skyanalog.
Like all models, the P2 has a nude diamond Fineline tip and a boron cantilever.
He plays colorfully and dynamically, spatially and smoothly, and with a lot of fun.
The sound quality and precise manufacturing are quite unique in this price range.
There are a few differences between the P-2 and the P-1:
The P-2 has a lower compliance of 10 m/mN, the P-1 (12 m/mN), slightly lower impedance (five vs. six ohm generator resistance) and slightly lower output voltage (0.35 vs. 0.4 mV at 3.54 cm speed).
All three aspects lead to the conclusion that the P-2 simply works with fewer turns on the coils, which reduces the moving mass and increases the "acceleration power".
As a result, the Skyanalog P-2 is able to prod
