Just received (mass) email from Hervé stating that Dartzeel will soon be releasing phono cartridges and "matching" phono stages. Looking forward to hearing more, no pun intended.
i don't yet have details on the technology involved, but i suspect it's a proprietary 'current' based gain circuit designed by Herve to match exactly with a LOMC special design. so think DS Audio Optical style matching pieces.....but not optical tech.It’s an amplifier company releasing a phono stage can be understandable but I wonder what’s the point on jumping into cartridge business? Like many other companies, putting their names over a cartridge made by a well known cartridge manufacturer is unnecessary IMHO.

that's a guess. but having lived with Herve's gear since 2004 i put nothing past him. if he thinks this is breakthrough then we must keep our minds open.
yes, or the Avantgarde iTron G3 active current mode amplification, or the CH Precision current mode in their phono.You mean similar to the BMC MCCI type approach?
According to this videoyes, or the Avantgarde iTron G3 active current mode amplification, or the CH Precision current mode in their phono.
It will be interesting to see if these cartridges will be manufactured from the ground up by darTZeel, or if darTZeel will commission an existing cartridge manufacturer to take an existing product and customize it to darTZeel’s specifications.

The cartridge was in use at Munich Highend this year. Francois from AnaMighty, who was presenting at the DarTZeel room, told me they developed the cartridge for DarTZeel.
In the video he says: “zero point zero 75 millivolt ouput” = 0.075mvDid he say 75 millivolt output or point 75?

Even lower than the Kondo io-m.
The short-circuit operationYou mean similar to the BMC MCCI type approach?
