Vertere Acoustics fits new Magneto cartridge to award-winning DG-1 Record Player

Written by Ben

Magneto is closely related to the Audio Technica VM520EB cartridge originally fitted to the DG-1 and is stylus compatible with the AT VM5x range. This allows owners to upgrade to a improved stylus profile, should they wish to, when the time comes to renew.The Magneto was chosen as the ideal starter cartridge: it is tolerant of records in less than perfect condition which may be the case with owners returning to vinyl after many years absence. Magneto however is superbly musical and delivers all the qualities one would expect of a Vertere product.
Magneto is quiet, dynamic, accurate, and easy to optimise.Vertere will be publishing a blog and video later in the year discussing the upgrade paths available to DG-1 owners. While the DG-1 is significantly more of a plug and play player than Vertere’s more upscale range Touraj, has already been contacted about suggestions for upgrades. It makes sense to help owners on this path get the best value for their upgrade expenditure.
