The net weight is 5.7g without handle.
Handle available in nickel-plated brass (total weight 8.3g) or aircraft aluminum (total weight 7.2g)
Helmut Hack in the magazine Fidelity № 41 | 01/2019:
“At the beginning of the hearing test, the first thing that convinces is the quality of workmanship…
…then Aretha Franklin’s “Chain of Fools” sounded so free and expansive, so little dull and cloudy, that I was able to experience deep inner satisfaction in two ways at once.
With the Ametrin-1, Holger Stein has achieved a great success that goes far beyond the usual requirements for stability and geometry.
It offers the cartridge a base that simultaneously hugs, supports and stimulates”.
