Brand: Ikeda

The Ikeda IT-245 is a mid-range cartridge for turntables that was designed by Hiroyoshi Ikeda, a renowned cartridge specialist. It features a dual-magnet N-D-FeB (neodymium-iron-boron) magnet system that provides high output, low distortion, and a wide frequency response. The diamond stylus is mounted onto a smooth boron cantilever for accurate tracking and low resonance. The body of the cartridge is made of lightweight aluminum, with a rear protective cap to prevent damage to the stylus during installation. The IT-245's output level is around 2.0 mV, making it a suitable choice for preamplifiers with relatively low gain. Overall, the Ikeda IT-245 offers a good balance between price, performance, and compatibility with a variety of turntables.
