{"product_id":"emt-tnd-065-cartridge","title":"EMT TND 065 Cartridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe TND 065 is the Tondose broadcast cartridge for shellac 78-rpm records — a true mono generator with a 65-micron spherical stylus, sized for the normal-groove archive that preceded the microgroove LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 78 needs a cartridge built for it. The groove is cut coarsely by modern standards, and a modern microgroove stylus in that groove will neither track it correctly nor retrieve the recording at anything like the fidelity the master carried. The 65-micron SPH is the correct profile for the shellac normal groove — the contact patch sits where the cutter drew it, and the cartridge reads the modulation the record was manufactured to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe generator is a true mono moving-coil, single-channel output — the same discipline that makes the TMD 015 and TMD 025 quieter than a summed stereo cartridge on mono LPs, applied here to the earlier 78-rpm archive. The cantilever is aluminium. The body is the 2020-revision solid-magnesium Tondose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutput transfer level is 0.21 mV\/cm. Coil impedance is 24 Ω. Tracking force is 2.5 grams. Weight is 17.5 grams. Frequency response is 20 to 16,000 Hz — the ceiling of the shellac medium itself, delivered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree mount options: EMT Standard, INT, X.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMT","offers":[{"title":"EMT (Standard)","offer_id":48938915070171,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"INT (Ortofon A compatible)","offer_id":48938915430619,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"X (SME compatible)","offer_id":48938915463387,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1363\/6553\/files\/d25f4f_5101d766375a485e8124e8f5711e628c_mv2.jpg?v=1783137568","url":"https:\/\/almaaudio.com\/products\/emt-tnd-065-cartridge","provider":"Alma Music and Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
