WELCOME TO AIDAS CARTRIDGES
REVIEWS AND AWARDS
“...When the needle touches the groove, there’s an immediate sense of magic, regardless of the music genre, and captivates the listener effortlessly, avoiding the distractions that often plague even highly coveted cartridges. The Aidas team has managed to sidestep the trap of mechanical hysteria—a pitfall all too common in high-end audio, where engineering excess can often overshadow musicality...”
Robert H. Levi - Positive Feedback Magazine
“...I will cut to the chase. My experience with under $10,000 MC/MM/MI cartridges is extensive. I have never auditioned a superior sounding more realistic cartridge than the Mammoth Gold in this important price category. It is a breakthrough design with abilities beyond the excellent work of even the largest cartridge manufacturers we all love and admire...”
Robert H. Levi - Positive Feedback Magazine
“...In my opinion, when looking for a top cartridge for a high-end system (you need a turntable, tonearm, and phonostage from the top shelf as well) you simply have to add the Aidas Mammoth Gold to your „must check out” list. For me, it is the second, after Murasakino Sumile, a cartridge that fully deserves our Victor!...”
Marek Dyba - Hifi Knights magazine
“...Aidas Black Sound is a skillful groove tracker. It retrieved intricate details from this recording in a way that reminded me of why I love analog in a way that I just never got to with CD...
... One of the strengths of this cartridge is its ability to strip away non-musical artifacts and allow you to get into the soul of the singing and music...
... If the Aidas Black Sound is any indicator of the quality of this line then these will be world-beaters and may be even harder to come by...”
Dave Thomas - Stereotimes Magazine
“...With the Durawood, on the track "Everybody's Doing It," Coltrane's soprano had a reaching quality I appreciated, which never devolved into screechiness the way a soprano sax can: It remained prominent but smooth. Davis plays a bowed solo on this track, which demonstrated just how embodied and rich the Durawood's bass can be when given the right material...”
THE ART OF TRUE ANALOG SOUND
“... Once carefully mounted, the Aidas Tru-Stone Gold Web MC cartridge (provided by Jeff Fox of Notable Audio) significantly enhanced soundstage depth and the sense of scale and yielded a notable increase in resolution and harmonic richness, deepening engagement. Transient speed improved. That enhanced soundstage was more stable, and images were better defined and more robust—more embodied and more human.
The ultralow noise floor of the SMS/Aidas pairing made for an eerily silent backdrop, allowing me to experience the inner life of each record I played. This combo extracted from the grooves not just the music but also, seemingly, the life force of the musicians. Micro changes in the pressure exerted by musicians on their instruments were audible, as was the big surge of energy emanating from an ensemble when they come together to play as one..."
Ken Micallef - Stereophile magazine
“... I am really impressed with this cartridge. It delivers benchmark-setting accuracy, articulation, purity, transparency, dynamics, incisiveness, and even-handedness with bass to die for, along with an absolutely non-edgy, texturally rich and highly natural delivery...
... The Rainbow’s bass precision and -articulation are staggeringly good. The whole presentation is so convincing and so captivating...”
Christiaan Punter - HiFi Advice
... The Aidas Baby Mammoth Cartridge reminded me of my favorite Koetsu from back in the day, only with better detail and focus, closer to lifelike dynamics with a punchier, more extended bass...
Michael Wright - Stereotimes
“... Aidas achieves outstanding things in sound reproduction, goosebumps are guaranteed here. Much expressiveness, creamy tone for emphasized authentic reproduction. Tonality of Aidas is perfectly balanced. In the bass it sounds disciplined, tight and inconspicuous, in the best sense of the term. At the upper end, of course, perfectly integrated and with the right amount of air....”
