The newest addition to the renown 500 series. DJ Craze, DMC world Champion 3 years running, has selected this cartridge as the all time best competition cartridge. The sturdy suspension couples the thick wall cantilever to allow for high tracking forces and the grounded cartridge body minimizes hum and delivers great quality sound.
