The Frog Gold is a handcrafted, audiophile low-output MC cartridge that offers the highest precision and fidelity. Equipped with a VDH Type 1 stylus profile and a boron cantilever, it utilizes selected long-crystal copper coils for exceptionally fine detail reproduction.

The aluminum housing ensures stability and low resonance, while the cartridge guarantees excellent groove tracking thanks to precise compliance and optimized tracking force. With a wide frequency response, minimal channel deviation, and high channel separation, the Frog Gold delivers natural, dynamic, and spatially precise playback.

A classic high-end cartridge: durable, repairable, and ideal for tonearms with an effective mass of 8–12 g. Perfect for discerning listeners who value detail, musicality, and craftsmanship.
