"DS Audio’s made-in-Japan HS-001…machined from a solid billet of “ultra-duralumin”…features the sturdiest, most expensive-looking Litz wires I’ve ever seen...”

DS Audio importer Musical Surroundings today announced the debut at next week's Florida Audio Expo of the new "Master 3" set featuring the new Master 3 optical cartridge ($9500) featuring a Microridge stylus bonded to a unique square-section diamond cantilever. The new $18,000 Master 3 equalizer is a 50+ pound single-box version of the Grand Master EQ featuring both single-ended RCA and balanced XLR outputs.
The new Master 3 cartridge features Independent LED and photo-detector arrangement for the left and right channels, resulting in a dramatic increase in output voltage from 40mV to 70mV and improved S/N ratio compared to other models, resulting in an even lower noise floor and far greater musical clarity.
