{"product_id":"emt-jsd-novel-gold-cartridge","title":"EMT JSD Novel Gold Cartridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe JSD Novel Gold is the current top of the EMT hi-fi cartridge program — the reference expression of EMT's multi-layer transducer technology in a body engineered around a pure-gold generator coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe transducer is EMT's multi-layer core design, introduced in 2021 and built around a cantilever assembly of sapphire and titanium — sapphire for its stiffness-to-mass ratio, titanium for its ability to carry structural load without ringing. The stylus is an MR HP diamond: a multi-radius profile, high-polish grade, chosen to keep the contact patch minimal and the retrieved information maximal at any groove diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates the Novel Gold from every other cartridge EMT builds is the coil. Windings are pure 4N gold — a choice made not for spectacle but for tonal effect. Gold's electrical resistance and mechanical damping properties produce a sound EMT describes as rich and colourful; in the room, that reads as body without heaviness, warmth without a loss of speed. The magnet is AlNiCo, gold-plated. The body is high-density material, also gold-plated, tuned to sit acoustically inert against the tonearm headshell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutput is 1 mV at 5 cm\/s. Coil impedance is 2 × 20 Ω per channel. Recommended load is 100 to 200 ohms. Tracking force is 2.1 grams, compliance 12 µm\/mN, weight 18 grams — a heavier cartridge, and one that asks for a tonearm equal to it. The EMT 909-HI or 912-HI carries it directly on the half-inch fixed-headshell mount.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48938911858907,"sku":null,"price":10495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1363\/6553\/files\/emt-novel-gold-1_orig.jpg?v=1783137541","url":"https:\/\/almaaudio.com\/products\/emt-jsd-novel-gold-cartridge","provider":"Alma Music and Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
