This is your chance to own a MusiKraft shell at a discount.
We have a small batch of new clear anodized aluminum shells with a minor finish defect which we offer in clearance.
They were dismut and re-anodized. The finish is good and hard but not as bright as it should be in our normal conditions. The dismut process causes microscopic cavities which removes lustre. The anomalies on these are only aesthetic. They are in perfect working condition. In fact, you may not even notice there are any defects. We are fussy on tolerances and if their off by 1%, we refuse to send them out normaly.
This Audio MusiKraft clear anodized aluminum 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.
We have chosen this alloy as it is widely used, affordable and well suited for the cartridge improvements we are looking for. Aluminum can be easily machined, is lightweight and numerous corrosion treatments and finishes are available. Given that production costs are lower than other materials, there is added value for the customer, making this shell our entry level.
This shell can be fully customized to your musical and/or visual preference.
