The cartridge has been on the market for a few months and has received many positive reviews.Wayne's Audio "Master Signature" MC Phono CartridgeThrough the efforts of our technology team, we have launched another cartridge that we can be proud of after "Canary" and "Canary Plus".This cartridge makes you look a bit like a famous name brand cartridge. And Yes, that’s right. We just took “VDH Master Signature” as a template, try to made some improvements, and then cloned it.Cartridge materials include "Line-contact diamond" on a "Boron" cantilever, 5N OCC "Silver" coil, and an "Aged ebony" body.There is only one solder joint from the coil directly to the pin, reducing the impact of the solder joint on the sound.No need to explain, the sound is really great, When we made it, we were very surprised that its sound was probably no worse than $4000-$5,000 ones on the market.( We compared it to several cartridges, like: VDH, Lyra, Clearaudio, Dynavector,....)We have the market price for this cartridge at around $3800, and I'm willing to give my first buyer a best offer of only $899.This is why we always find it unbelievable that a phono cartridge on the market costs US$8,000 or US$10,000, which is so unrealistic.Please listen to the YouTube video, you can probably tell that its sound is particularly delicate, fast, dynamic and rich in bass.SpecificationsCartridge type: Low output stereo moving coil cartridgeBody: Aged ebonyStylus: Line contact diamondCantilever: boron rodCartridge height: 17.5mmCartridge weight: 7 gCoil type: 5N OCC Single Crystal silver coilOutput voltage: 0.45mvImpedance: 7ΩLoad impedance:＞=60ΩRecommended Load: 75-500 ohms (better from 200)Compliance: 12um/mNFrequency response: 20-25KHz±1dBChannel separation >28dBLeft and right channel balance <0.5dBRecommended tracking force: 1.8gEffective tracking range: 1.5-2.3gBreak-in time: 30 hoursComes with Original wood box, Specifications paper and screws.I have sold a lot of cartridges and got a lot of good feedback, please check them out.And please take a look my other items.Thanks!WayneWayne's Audio

Line Magnetic Audio: Brand Overview
Line Magnetic Audio was established in 2005 in Zhuhai, China, by brothers Zheng Cai and Zheng Xi, both passionate audiophiles with deep roots in tube electronics. Zheng Cai's background as a former general manager and chief engineer at Cayin, combined with years spent studying and restoring classic Western Electric, Altec, and Jensen components, provided the technical foundation for the company. This heritage of reverse-engineering and understanding legendary 1950s American audio design remains central to Line Magnetic's identity and philosophy.
The brand specializes in tube-based electronics and speakers, with a product range spanning integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, DACs, phonostages, and horn-loaded loudspeakers. Line Magnetic is particularly renowned for its meticulous replicas of classic Western Electric, Altec, and Jensen designs, as well as proprietary field-coil drivers that have earned respect among both manufacturers and DIY enthusiasts. All products are hand-assembled using point-to-point wiring across two factories, reflecting an uncompromising manufacturing philosophy.
Line Magnetic occupies the high-end boutique segment, targeting discerning collectors and audiophiles who value vintage-inspired design married with modern engineering. The brand commands respect for its scholarly approach to audio history, rigorous material research, and unrelenting build quality. Rather than pursuing mass-market appeal, Line Magnetic has cultivated a devoted global following among those seeking authentic tube sound and meticulous craftsmanship.
