Aidas Gold Series
Moving Coil Phono Cartridges
“I have never auditioned a superior sounding more realistic cartridge than the Mammoth Gold in this important price category. It is a breakthrough design with abilities beyond the excellent work of even the largest cartridge manufacturers we all love and admire.”

Positive Feedback
Aidas Gold series cartridges are the top performers in the Aidas cartridge portfolio.
As with all Aidas cartridge lines, Aidas Gold Series’ unique sonic signatures derive from their use of diverse body materials and the addition of 24kt pure gold coils. Gold plated coils do sound very natural and detailed, pure gold even more so.
Aidas Gold cartridges come with 2 different bodies: Tru-stone Blue River Agate and Mammoth tusk body. Tru-stone is a uniquely beautiful natural/artificial amalgam consisting of more than 85% actual stone.
Aidas Mammoth Gold is the newest, most advanced of the Aidas cartridges. The cartridge’s body is made with the ivory from 21,000 year old Siberian wooly mammoth tusks. Mammoth is the best and most unique material Aidas has found for their top cartridges. Better than stone, better than exotic wood or metals.
Mammoth tusk has very unique properties, sound-wise. It was even compared to other types of bone / horn material and was found to be far superior. It is an extremely strong material, and it dampens unwanted vibrations perfectly.
