Phasemation PP-300 Moving Coil Cartridge

The PP-300 from Phasemation marks the brand’s tenth anniversary. It is heavily derived from the top-tier PP-1000. With a refined magnetic circuit, duralumin base and DLC coating, pure boron cantilever, and low-impedance output, the PP-300 delivers crisp mids and highs, resonant bass, and excellent spatial expression for serious vinyl enthusiasts.

Features

• Magnetic-Circuit Technology: The PP-300 applies the flagship PP-1000’s magnetic-circuit design, refining materials, manufacturing, and finishing to improve cost performance. A switch to a samarium-cobalt magnet enhances sound-field reproduction and freshness beyond the earlier P-3.
• High-End Body: The PP-300 uses a duralumin base and body, as in the P-3, now upgraded with a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating to achieve high rigidity and excellent vibration-damping characteristics. 
• Top-Shelf Materials: The PP-300 continues Phasemation’s use of premium materials from the PP-1000, including a pure boron cantilever, 6N oxygen-free copper coil wire, and a pure-iron coil bobbin.
