Technics EPC-100C MK2 Stereo MM Moving Magnet Cartridge Phono Pick-up Vintage Domo Arigato! Welcome, Thank you for your visit. Description Operation confirmed. The appearance has small scratches, dullness, dirt, etc. due to normal use. For other appearances, please refer to the photo. Overview Pure boron cantilever is used for the cantilever. This material, which is difficult to make into a solid bar, is refined into a pipe shape by a special manufacturing process to achieve light weight and high strength. Furthermore, a laser beam is used to process the tip mount hole for mounting the needle tip tip in pursuit of precision, resulting in an extremely small effective mass of the resonator and pushing the high frequency resonance frequency out of the audible range. The TTDD (Technics Temperature Defense Damper) developed by Technics is used. Compared to commonly used butyl rubber, this damper material has about 1/3 of the temperature dependence, and has excellent viscoelasticity and excellent cantilever support performance. As a result, there is almost no deterioration in sound quality and tracing performance due to temperature changes in the room. In the magnetic circuit, mirror-polished HPF cores are used for all magnetic materials such as pole pieces and yokes to obtain excellent transmission characteristics.In addition, the left and right channels are completely separated in the HPF magnetic circuit to achieve a symmetrical arrangement, thereby reducing imbalance between channels in terms of various characteristics. A single-point suspension system is employed, in which a disk-shaped magnet is placed at the base of the cantilever, which is attached to the support pipe by suspension wires via a disk-shaped damper.This clearly unifies the fulcrum just behind the magnet, preventing the generation of intermodulation distortion due to the back-and-forth change of the cantilever and the deterioration of high-frequency characteristics due to the increase of equivalent mass from the needle tip perspective. The low inductance design minimizes the effect of addition, resulting in high performance.The DC resistance is also designed to be extremely small, resulting in low noise due to the resistive component in the amplifier input stage and a high signal-to-noise ratio.

TECHNICS EPC-100C Mk2 CELLULE-AIMANT MOBILE-TRES RARE. Cest lune des cartouches MM vintage les plus recherchées produites par Technics pendant lâge dor du vinyle. Elle est en très bonne forme cosmétique et fonctionnelle. SUR VINTAGE AUDIO-LASER « Caractéristiques de l’EPC-100CMK2 Cellule intégrale en alliage de magnésium, à aimant mobile. Tube porte-stylus en bore pur. Suspension en un point. Amortisseurs en TTDD (Technics Temperature Defense Damper), quasi insensible aux variations de T°. Protège-stylus intégré et escamotable. Noyau torique des circuits magnétiques en HPF (ferrite comprimée à chaud). Aimant en Samarium-Cobalt. Bande passante totale : 10 à 60 000 Hz Poids de l’équipage mobile : 0,23 mg. Séparation des canaux : >25 db à 1 khz ; >20 db à 10 khz. Équilibrage des canaux : <0.5 db à 1 khz. Force dappui de la pointe : 1,25 g. Poids de la cellule : 18,3 gr. A l’écoute Normal qu’une cellule haut de gamme restitue les disques comme le fait lEPC-100C MK2 : de façon parfaitement naturelle, sans coloration, sans tricherie. Toutes les cellules dites HDG ne se valent pas, la série EPC-100 C de Technics est pour le moins exceptionnelle. Certains les classent dans le top dix des meilleures cellules jamais produites, pour dautres, il sagit tout simplement des meilleures cellules... » J’ai demande, pour m’amuser, L’Intelligence Artificielle si elle connais cette cellule. Voila la réponse : « Oui, la cellule Technics 100C MK2 est une cartouche à aimant mobile (MM) haut de gamme produite par Technics dans les années 80. Elle est réputée pour sa précision et saclarté sonore, ainsi que pour sa capacité à reproduire fidèlement les détails les plus subtils des enregistrements vinyles. La cellule Technics 100C MK2 est toujours considérée comme lune des meilleures cartouches MM jamais produites. » Les schémas dans les photos sont extraits du manuel en PDF que je peut envoyé après les enchères au gagnant.
