Ownerʼs Manual
Thank you for your purchase of the TUSCANY GOLD stereo cartridge.
Read these Operating Instructions carefully before using your TUSCANY GOLD and keep it for future reference.
Before Using
1. The Stylus is very delicate. Applying excessive force to the stylus, such as pressing with a finger can break it. Handle the
cartridge with the utmost care.
2. A powerful magnet is used in the cartridge. Note that carelessly bringing a steel screwdriver or other such item near the
cartridge will result in it being attracted by the magnet and may result in damage to the stylus, so care must be taken.

Method of Use
1. Mounting the cartridge on the tone arm Head-Shell
using the supplied Allen Wrench and one set of the
2,5mm screws. Adjust it to the stylus position specified
for the turntable system you are using mounting it
properly without tilting or turning it. (See Figure 1.)
• The output terminals are colours coded for identifi-
cation as illustrated in Figure 2. Match the colors of
the tone arm head-shell leads to the terminals and
connect each other properly.
NOTE:
When connecting the cartridge, be sure to use the
tipped leads and press them onto the terminals. Apply-
ing heat to the output terminals of the cartridge, such
as in direct soldering, will cause internal damage to the
cartridge, such as wire breakage.

The exclusive design of the Tuscany Gold features an extra thin Micro Ridge diamond tip developed with Adamant-Namiki, the
world most famous professional Diamond manufacturer. The Micro Ridge diamond tip special multi faced shape cut guarantees
the best deep vinyl groove contact available today.
The diamond tip is mechanically inserted and blocked into the new telescopic Boron cantilever hold by a Titanium pipe increases
the rigidity of the structure.
The Titanium pipe is finely machined from a single block of metal in 4 spokes that handle the cartridge silver micro coils hilt by a
Teflon spacer enabling great rigidity while allowing a perfect alignment building precision to get the best tracking ability.
The non deformable harmonic steel cantilever suspension is blocked with a gold plated nut on the bottom side of the crossbar
gold case positioned behind the micro-coils Teflon spacer rigidly blocked to the structure avoiding unwanted vibration affect the
perfect solid groove tracking ability of the cartridge.
The Tuscany Gold cube designed body offers a gorgeous structural rigidity while allowing a very intuitive and precise VTA adjust-
ment easy to see flat bottom line.
The 7050 alloy increased lighted body of the cartridge is strategically injected with fluid polymers to provide a pronounced damp-
ening control effect.
The redesigned thinner and longer gold plated pin connectors enable a wider better contact with arm cinch, a better contact
stops energy dispersion while enabling better grounding for a more silent music background to reach all minor details of the
music the best.
The Tuscany Gold extra light precision hand-wrapped pure silver micro-coils enable 4ohm internal impedance and 0.25mV output
level may be driven by quality active MC phono preamplifier without the need of Step-Up transformers.
The Italian high quality finishes and exotic design of the Tuscany Gold last for a lifetime pleasure of music listening for the real
highest demand.
Please Note: to preserve the uniqueness all Tuscany Gold cartridges have the serial number indelibly printed in the engraved
area of the top of the cartridge body.
