The Gyger II is a fine-line elliptical with a 6 µm small radius, and its larger major radius fills more of the record groove than a normal elliptical tip. Goldring credits it with smooth, extended highs, low distortion and a highly detailed, dynamic sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGyger II Stylus: \u003c\/strong\u003eFine-line elliptical nude diamond with a 6 µm (0.2 mil) small radius.

The user-replaceable stylus carrier slots into the body with a locating pin that stops unwanted vibrations from coloring the sound, and an integral mu-metal can shields the generator parts from hum-inducing stray magnetic fields. Pocan's high strength-to-mass ratio keeps the cartridge below 6.5 g.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerformance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Gyger II fills the record groove more completely than a normal elliptical stylus, which is what makes it a major step up from standard elliptical types. Two formerless coils of four thousand turns each sit around laminated mu-metal pole pieces; that construction cuts mass, gives a higher than average output, and reduces the high-frequency loss of conventional designs for a smooth, extended frequency response. A gold-plated nickel tie-bar welded to the Alnico V magnet provides an earth path for static on the record and steadies the cantilever against unwanted vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVersatility and Compatibility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLow mass and moderate compliance keep the tonearm and cartridge resonance within safe limits, so the 1012GX matches a wide range of tonearms. Goldring recommends a tonearm effective mass of 5 to 25 g. It mounts on standard 12.7 mm fixing centers and works into a standard 47 kΩ moving magnet phono input. Because azimuth is set at the factory, it holds a proper stereo image on turntables where azimuth cannot be adjusted, and when the stylus wears, a replacement slots straight into the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Listening Room Experience\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt The Listening Room, we take pride in offering more than just high-fidelity audio equipment.
