An ACCUPHASE AC-3 MC cartridge (estimated 250 to 350 hours) for a price of $100 OBO.

Made by ZYX for Accuphase.

In the late 70’s and for most of the 80’s and 90’s, Nakatsuka-San designs can be spotted in the form of the famed trio (pun intended) of Accuphase cartridges and the very closely related Monster Cable cartridges, just to name a few.

The AC1 and AC2 look identical, but there are slight technical specification differences. The AC3 does not possess the elegant gold body, but instead has a smaller black body. The two earlier versions of the cartridge use an aluminum/magnesium cantilever that is reinforced with a beryllium rod. The AC3 has a boron cantilever with the same type of beryllium rod treatment.

Stylus Type: boron tube reinforced w/beryllium rod microtrack 2 x 70um

Compliance: 18 mm/µN

Tracking Force : 1.5-2.5 grams

Mass: 7.5 grams

Load Impedance: 3 ohms

Output Voltage: 0.2 mv

Frequency Response: 20Hz - 60kHzm

An MONSTER CABLE GENESIS 1000 MC cartridge for a price of $50 (NEEDS RETIP).

Made by ZYX for Monster Cable.

For long life and linear action, a very pure elastomer has been chosen for the damper—an area of research in which Mr. Nakatsuka of ZYX has specialized since the mid-1980s, when he developed the Alpha Genesis series of cartridges for Monster Cable. Similar technology that is used in the ZYX R-1000 Airy S that retails for $3,450 (see the Stereophile article by performing a Google search for Monster Cable Genesis 1000 or a Google search for ZYX R-1000 Airy S .
