The Vessel A3SS cartridge

THE VESSEL A3SS CARTRIDGE
- Much more than music.

The creative brief for The Vessel™ cartridge series is simple: "Allow the artist to express his music with its amalgam of contradiction as it is elevates and transcends with the natural and artificial interpretation of the human art."

The wonderfully disruptive A3SS exceeds in extracting and conveying sentience™ — the energy beyond hearing, beyond listening hiding in the grooves of your favorite LPs. The A3SS delivers more information with an appealing, engaging, natural presentation that direct-connects you to your music. It's warm and inviting, the totality of the musical experience that's more than the sum of its parts. The Vessels present the totality of the musical experience - its direct, angular, spatial and reflective acoustic - enabling shape consistency, depth, and the emotional content is finally revealed.

The A3SS's generous, organic and natural Full Spectra Sound complements any type of music you favor. The beautiful, natural tonal balance and richly harmonic presentation capture the body, heart and soul of music. More than just the sound, The Vessel cartridge communicates the emotional content in the groove. You'll hear it, you'll feel it and experience it as music is expressed with elegance and grace. Its Super Shibata stylus delivers complex texture and dynamism with stellar liquidity and transparency. ¹
