The specification table says the stylus is \u003cstrong\u003eruby\u003c\/strong\u003e. Those two statements do not normally go together, and the difference is the single number that decides how fast your records wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA moving magnet cartridge is the good news. It usually tracks somewhere around 1.5 to 2.5 grams, it carries a diamond stylus, and the stylus is replaceable. A ruby or sapphire stylus is what you normally find on a ceramic cartridge, which tracks far heavier — in the region of 5 to 7 grams — and wears a record noticeably faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of those two statements is wrong. We have asked which, and until we have the answer in writing we are not going to print “moving magnet” on this page as though it were settled, because it is exactly the claim a shop would be most tempted to exaggerate. When the manufacturer answers, this paragraph gets replaced with the number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 0.6 watts per channel actually sounds like\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne and a fifth watts in total, across two speakers. That is honest background listening in a bedroom, a study or a kitchen — a record playing while you do something else. It is not a hi-fi, it will not fill a living room, and anybody telling you otherwise about a figure like this has not read it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat matters is that it works out of the box with nothing else bought, and that the RCA output is there when that stops being enough. Plug the output into powered speakers or an amplifier and the deck stops being the limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer lists “MDF, PVC, leather” in one field and “PU resin, MDF with PVC” in another. Read together, that means an MDF cabinet with a printed PVC walnut finish, and PU — synthetic — rather than leather. We would rather say that than let the word leather sit on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is visible in the photographs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead off the manufacturer's own images, not written by them.
