Additional Info
The Roksan Corus Black delivers a controlled, articulate presentation where detail and imaging work in tandem, so instruments hold their own space without the sound turning clinical. The Fine Line tip resolves inner-groove complexity cleanly, vocal timbre stays honest rather than analytical, and bass keeps reasonably dense. Lively dynamics favor jazz and acoustic material on resolving systems. The stylus is replaceable, so the Gyger II profile can be renewed.
