ADIKT

"With a superb sense of ease through the midrange, the Adikt portrays stringed instruments such as guitar clearly and without strain. The slight bass richness in no way interfered with the range above it. Instead, it seemed to merely help take any aggressive edge off the midrange, which resulted in a well-defined tone that also refrained from any glare. The acoustic guitar on "Folsom Prison Blues" from Johnny Cash, Live at Folsom Prison [Columbia CS 9639] had the requisite crispness that I'm familiar with, and in fact gave up very little in the way of image definition and depth to my far more expensive Shiraz moving-coil. On a tonal and dynamic basis, the Adikt kicks butt. It's a lively cartridge, has great bass, and is neither bright nor recessed. It images well, and portrays the meaning of the music in a convincing manner."
