DS Audio Grand Master Cartridge & Equaliser
ALL DS Audio cartridge systems have their own phono amplifier so there is no need for you to use your existing one.
The Cartridge and Energiser can be purchased separately or together as a package.
“The Grand Master is so truly supreme in resolution, transparency, spatial recreation, neutrality and any other parameter I can name that it’s impossible for me not say what I usually try to avoid: ‘This may be the best cartridge I’ve ever heard.’” Ken Kessler Hi Fi News 2021

DS Master 3 Product Features
The DS Master 3 cartridge is a completely new design. The third generation of DS Audio’s optical cartridge features a comprehensively re-designed optical system that provides the following improvements and benefits.
DS Audio PS-001 Phono Cable
Phono cable optimised for optical cartridges
The highest quality construction throughout When using an MM or MC cartridge, the cold side of the phono cable serves only as a ground. In the case of optical cartridges however the cold side is used to supply power from the equalizer to the cartridge. Therefore, in such an application, the cold side of the cable is just as important as the signal carrying hot line. The PH-001 features identical materials and construction on both the hot and cold sides ensuring that the power supply is kept stable.See help guides and videos below
DS AUDIO ST-50 STYLUS CLEANER

DS Audio TB-100 Phono Equalizer
Experience a New Analog Era with Vacuum Tubes and Optical Cartridges.
The TB-100 features carefully selected, quad-matched ECC82 (12AU7) tubes, optimized specifically for this model. Using in-house tools, performance variations during operation are minimized to within 1% (0.1dB), ensuring peak performance. Each channel is equipped with an inner tube for voltage amplification and an outer tube for output buffering, delivering a rich, transparent sound quality. Moreover, the amplifier employs straightforward two-stage amplification circuit paired with low-impedance cathode follower output stages to provide a pure and dynamic audio experience.
DS Audio Vinyl Ionizer
The ION-001 is a very high-power device, equipped with a total of 4 ionizers, 2 each for positive and negative ions. The ION-001 utilizes a specialized power supply controller which suppresses the generation of excess ozone, preventing unwanted oxidation.
Vinyl records have a surface static electricity charge created by friction. Two common sources of that friction is stylus drag as well as simply removing records from their jacket and sleeve. The ION-001 effectively neutralizes and removes static electricity and our unique "fan less" design allows for silent operation.
Simply position the ION-001 next to your turntable and switch on when playing an LP.

“Genius + Soul = Jazz is a winner, now sounding better than ever. I like this reissue so much I’ll probably not play my original again since it isn’t in quite as nice condition. In fact, I’m not sure if I really need to even keep my original in the collection at this point given the quality of this reissue. And that is probably the best complement I can offer.” — Mark Smotroff, Audiophile Review, May 17, 2021.
