• Eroica HX / LX - Q. What is the difference of the “new pure-iron cross-armature design” to the iron armature of Eroica LX?

  Answer: The two designs are very similar which means that the HX and LX are now much closer in performance – however, the fewer windings on the LX means that the moving mass is still even lower than the HX, and because it must work into an MC phono ...

• Eroica HX / H - Q. What are the differences between the new Eroica HX and the old Eroica H?

  Answer: The main difference is that the traditional square core armature which will be found on many traditional MC cartridges produced today and which we used in the Eroica H, this has been exchanged for a modern cross-shaped pure iron armature core ...

• Eroica HX / LX - Q. In comparison to Eroica LX: Do you raise the voltage by using a stronger magnet or by more windings on the coils?

  Answer We use extra coil windings.  The reason for this is that in order to work into a high-impedance MM input the output impedance of the Eroica HX needs to be raised accordingly and this can most easily be achieved by increasing the number of ...

• Eroica H/LX - Q. What's the static and dynamic compliance of these cartridges?

  Answer: The Eroica H/LX have an average static compliance of 18 mm/N and a dynamic compliance of 10 mm/N at 10 Hz which makes them compatible with tonearms of an effective mass of between 8–30g . As the cartridges are hand built, both these figures ...

• Eroica - Q. What is “enamelled-copper”?

  Answer: The windings of each coil must be insulated from each other and this is achieved these days by a thin layer (2 microns) of polyester.  In the past, coil windings were dipped in an enamel varnish which was much heavier and thicker and is no ...
