Although the brand X-Quisite is new, the company is one of the oldest and most respected in the audio world. Based in Switzerland, X-Quisite is a high-end EMT/Thales Audio division. Brands that need no introduction, EMT is one of the founding fathers in the broadcasting industry and Thales Audio for its high precision tonearms. The X-Quisite phono cartridges are also unique: they use a monobloc ceramic transducer that eliminates distortion from the tracking process and offers incredible naturalness and inner detail to every record. Every cartridge features this monobloc design and is further tuned with specialized metals in the coil and body to give each model a specific personality. Nothing is quite like an X-Quisite phono cartridge, and we are delighted to offer them to our discerning analog listeners.
