X-quisite FIRE

The monobloc-ceramic transducer of the X-quisite FIRE features an ironless coil and ensures supreme detail resolution and at the same time extremely natural sound. The titanium body gets a special coating process applied: each cartridge is a unique item regarding colour and gradient. The generator features a pure copper coil which has been carefully matched with an aluminium-holder to achieve most balanced sound characteristics.

Each X-quisite cartridge is handmade piece by piece and calibrated by Micha Huber personally.

All products with ironless transducer are demanding regarding the amplification, especially if the phono stage is equipped with step-up-transformers. Therefore, we have designed a matching transformer: SUT X-20.
