This is your chance to own a MusiKraft shell at a low price.

 

We have a small batch of new champagne anodized mixed aluminum alloy shells with a minor finish defect.

These actual shells were manufactured to exacting specs except that It slipped through our quality control process for a moment during manipulating the top and base parts resulting in mixed in alloy types. The tops are alumnum and the base are made out of lithium alloy. The lithium type doesn't support well the anodization process because of it metal content. Electrolysis occurs but not optimally to reach Milspec standards. In harsh environment they would probably not repel oxydation as much. You can notice as well that the champagne finish and color doesn't match the top cover portion. If looked very closely dark pigments are noticeable. The anomalies on these are slightly about aesthetic and resistance to oxydation. They are in perfect working condition. In fact, you may not even notice there are any defects except for the evident color difference. We are fussy on tolerances and if their off by 1%, we refuse to send them out normaly.

This Audio MusiKraft champagne anodized mixed aluminum alloy shell is specifically designed for Denon DL-103 or 103R phono cartridges. It can be purchased nude as a starting point and customized to one's preference or as a complete kit with a preinstalled modified cartridge and wood inserts.
