DS Audio DS-E3 set phono equalizer & optical cartridge

■Cartridge

・Uses third generation vibration system
DS-E3 uses the third generation vibration system, which is the same design as other products.
We have achieved an overwhelmingly low price while inheriting the advantages of the third generation vibration system, such as high output due to independent LED and PD, improved channel separation, and use of beryllium light shielding plates.

・Oval needle used on aluminum cantilever
The cantilever is made of aluminum and the needle tip is an oval needle (solid diamond). While adopting the third generation vibration system, we have increased the mass production efficiency by setting the channel separation 1db lower.

■Equalizer

・Renewed amplifier circuit and power supply circuit
In addition to making the amplifier circuit symmetrical, the DS-E3 equalizer also makes the voltage supplied to the cartridge more stable, resulting in clearer and faster sound.

・Achieved miniaturization by using operational amplifiers
The DS-E3 equalizer uses an operational amplifier as the amplification element and minimizes the signal path, greatly reducing the number of parts and achieving miniaturization. As a result, it is approximately 1/3 the size of the DS003 equalizer.
