Skyanalog P1M Moving Coil Cartridge
The van’s break-in period is about 30 hours at an average temperature of 23 degrees. The pickup box also includes screws and an Allen key for easy installation.
Their sound is open, airy, flowing, yet pleasingly analog. Its full-bodied low-end doesn’t settle into the music, but at the same time follows the silky, well-articulated tonality of the midrange with appropriate rhythmicity. The high end is not especially bright, with an exaggerated character, but it has a sufficiently airy resolution, so that the jazz-acoustic genre is not a problem, as well as lighter pop-rock music.
To make the best possible use of the sound quality, it is worth pairing it with quality phono preamps.
