Founded in Japan in 2013 DS Audio have introduced a radical new cartridge design which does away with magnets and coils! In contrast to moving-magnet (MM) and moving-coil (MC) cartridges, which work on the principle of electromagnetic induction, the DS-W1 uses an optical system to convert stylus/cantilever movements into audio signals. The advantage of this system is that it completely eliminates the electromagnetic frictional force that is a fact of life in all MM and MC designs.
