Aidas Gold PL Series

Moving Coil Phono Cartridges

Gold PL cartridges are the penultimate level in the Aidas cartridges portfolio.

Their unique sonic profile derives from their use special body materials and gold-plated copper coils. Because phono cartridges are very sensitive to vibrations, body materials’ individual dampening properties play an important role in determining their sound. Different coil material makes an even larger impact on final sound reproduction. Gold-plated coils sound more natural and detailed.

The Aidas Gold PL cartridges come with 3 different bodies: Tru-Stone gold web, Black African Gabon wood, and Brazilian Purpleheart wood. ​​The bodies are slightly different in mass and damping properties which makes them unique products, both wood types have excellent sonic properties. Tru-stone Gold web is a uniquely beautiful black natural and artificial stone amalgam with gold powder inserted in a form of a web. Tru Stone consists of more than 85% actual stone.
