The creation ofthe V15 m e N is something of a tour de force in innovative engineering. The challenge was to design a cartridge that would transcend all existing cartridges in musical transparency, technical excellence, and uniformity. The unprecedented research and design disciplines that were brought to bear on this challenge over aperiod of severalyean have resulted an altogether new...
