Tru-Stone Violet Gold

The Aidas Tru-Stone Violet Gold belongs to the AU Series—the pinnacle of the Aidas range—where pure gold forms the heart of the generator. The coils are wound from 999-fine gold wire, a material chosen not for extravagance but for its sonic signature: natural, liquid, effortless, and richly detailed. Gold’s unique electrical properties lend the music a relaxed transparency that reveals without ever straining.

The body is crafted from Tru-Stone in a deep violet hue, a composite of over 85% pulverised semi-precious stone bound with natural pigments and resins. This mineral density delivers exceptional damping, allowing the pure gold generator to perform without interference from resonance. Aidas considers the Tru-Stone Violet Gold to deliver approximately 95% of the performance of the flagship Mammoth—a remarkable achievement for a cartridge at this level. With the Namiki adamant boron composite cantilever, Micro Ridge stylus, and double-damping system completing the design, this is a cartridge for those who seek the very finest in analogue reproduction.
