Blue Angel Mantis Wild Olive Ruby

The Blue Angel Mantis Wild Olive Ruby belongs to the high end tier of the Mantis line. This MC cartridge with a Fritz Gyger stylus is produced in small numbers. Exact rated output and tracking force figures have not survived in open sources. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond means a professional retip.

Mounting
standard 1/2"
Cantilever
ruby cantilever

Additional Info

The Blue Angel Mantis Wild Olive Ruby builds its case on micro-dynamics. A ruby cantilever and Fritz Gyger profile deliver tight channel separation over a quiet, low-noise background, so fine detail and stage layering emerge cleanly while bass stays dense and controlled. Vocals sound natural, yet the analytical lean asks for resolving acoustic, jazz and classical systems. The stylus is integrated, leaving retip as the only service path.
