🎶 Announcement - Say hello to DaCapo N**e 🎶

We are thrilled to present our own brand of styli under the name DaCapo N**e, produced in Switzerland and fitted with n**e-mounted diamond tips for maximum precision and sound reproduction.
The n**e-mounted diamond makes the styli not just replacements, but in many cases direct upgrades, both in terms of sound quality and tracking ability.

At launch, we’re kicking off with 20+ models and by the end of 2025, you can expect to see 50+ in the lineup.

As many of you might know, the Black Diamond styli were very popular, a line of n**e-mounted styli produced in Switzerland. The DaCapo N**e line has been built on the many experiences we’ve had, and in close collaboration with our manufacturer we have worked specifically on improving both the suspension and the polishing. The result is a series offering increased precision, stability, and consistency. Still at an affordable price ✨

Some of the most popular models are already available, such as Shure N75, N91, N95, Technics EPS270, Philips GP401 II.

🎶 Unlock the full potential of your setup! 🎶

Ever wondered how to get the absolute best sound from your records? It all starts with precision alignment. Today, we're using an alignment protractor to fine-tune the tonearm and stylus for perfect tracking—a small setup step that makes a world of difference!

So, why is alignment so important? Taking the time to get it right can elevate your entire listening experience. With precise alignment, you’ll enjoy richer sound, protect your records and stylus, and hear your music as it was truly meant to be heard.
You’ll enjoy better sound quality, experiencing the full range, depth, and warmth of your music. Another benefit is that proper alignment protects your records and stylus by minimizing wear, helping your vinyl and needle last longer. Finally, you’ll reduce distortion, allowing you to hear the music as it was meant to be heard—clear and free from unwanted distortion or fuzz.

Whether you’re new to vinyl or an experienced collector, this is one step you don’t want to skip and we believe most of you would agree to that!
