‘Nothing prepared me for my encounter with this cartridge’ – Mono & Stereo

We’re delighted to reveal that our flagship XtraX MC Cartidge has been awarded the highly coveted 2024 Editor’s Choice Award by leading luxury audio publication, Mono & Stereo.

In his fascinating review, Mono & Stereo Editor Matej Isak lavishes praise on the transformative powers of XtraX partnered with the Vertere RG-1, Reference Tonearm and Reference Motordrive, suggesting it “sets a new standard for what we expect from these micro mechanical music machines in terms of performance and value”.

“In my reference system, it introduced a colossal leap in performance compared to what I’ve experienced before.”

“Reflecting the core ethos of the brand, the XtraX delivers a quantitative level of musical complexity with feather-light ease, offering a superbly extended sonic palette, acting lightning fast at every turn. These are rare qualities, but fundamental for the rest of the system to sing to the fullest.”
– Matej Isak, Mono & Stereo

Vertere XtraX Cartridge Review

XtraX will capture the attention of music lovers and analog audio aficionados striving to explore the depths of the music. This unique cartridge delivers music reproduction devoid of the usual sonic self-imprint.

Vertere Acoustics become a high-end audio brand for people in the know and XtraX is the kind of cartridge that will be appreciated by music lovers and audiophiles with decades of listening experience. XtraX will address those who have invested in the process of creating a superbly balanced high-end audio system, and not just the collection of sole products.

Among many music lovers, audiophiles, and analog connoisseurs, two prominent icons subscribed to that premise. A renowned mastering engineer Miles Showell from Abbey Road Studios (Underworld, The Beatles, Queen, Eric Clapton, Faithless, The Who, Lana Del Rey), and Nick Mason, the legendary drummer and co-founder of the iconic band Pink Floyd.

It takes a talented/creative team of like-minded individuals to achieve such excellence as encapsulated in XtraX. Under the baton of Touraj Moghaddam, Vertere Acoustics created its top-of-the-line cartridge that set a new standard for what we expect from these micro mechanical music machines in terms of performance and value.

Vertere Acoustics XtraX cartridge is a cut above many of his contemporaries which with no hesitation grants it my recommendation and the 2024 Mono & Stereo Editors Choice Product Award.

FIVE STARS for Dark Sabre from

25. April 2024

What HiFi? Review!
We’re delighted to announce that – in it’s recent review – leading tech magazine What HiFi? awarded our next generation Dark Sabre MM cartridge five stars!

In their review, available online now, What HiFi asks, “Is this the ultimate moving magnet cartridge?”

“As we listen…we are aware that [Dark Sabre] digs up far more information from the record groove. It reveals more in terms of instrumental textures and defines the shape of notes with greater precision. The Dark Sabre delivers more in the way of muscle too, rendering larger-scale dynamic shifts with more heft and confidence.”

“While it is possible to get some rather tasty moving coils at this level…we think that the Vertere Dark Sabre is talented enough to stand tall against such competition.

In conclusion, if you are looking to buy a cartridge at this level don’t ignore the Dark Sabre. It is something of a gem.”

The Ear gives Dark Sabre it’s Best Buy award!

12. Februar 2024

We’re delighted to announce that – in its first dedicated review – our next generation MM cartridge Dark Sabre has received The Ear’s coveted Best Buy award!

Here’s a taste of what Chris Kelly’s report had to say…
“…a product that will encourage all open-minded audio folk to recalibrate their expectation of what a moving-magnet cartridge can do. It is going to win a lot of hearts and minds, and deservedly so.”

“The Dark Sabre seemed to lift more information from those precious grooves than any of its predecessor cartridges, and suddenly I realised that I was not listening to a very expensive moving magnet but to a genuine audio bargain.”

AV Forums give the Vertere cartridge range their ‘Best Buy’ award!

7. Februar 2024

We’re delighted to announce that our XtraX, Mystic, Sabre, and Dark Sabre cartidges have all received AV Forums’ coveted Best Buy Award!

Here’s what they had to say…
“What we have here…is a quartet of models that offer a fuss free, accurate but unfailingly musical take on the business of extracting information from the grooves of a record…you will have to work rather harder to find better ones.”

ON XTRAX…
“It is able to go at your records like a small purple vacuum cleaner; seemingly hoovering information out of the grooves you would swear blind wasn’t there and then ensuring that what you are presented with isn’t some form of sensory overload but an utterly natural take on the recording itself.”

MG-1 MKII – The Ear’s top hi-fi picks of 2023

8. December 2023

We’re delighted to announce that the MG-1 MKII, Imperium, Mystic and PHONO-1 MKII L, have been selected as part of The Ear’s top hi-fi products of 2023! Here’s what they had to say…

“2023 saw the third visit of the excellent Vertere MG1 to my system, but this time with significant upgrade in the shape of the Imperium motor drive unit and the Phono1 MkII phono stage set up to get the best out of Vertere’s own Mystic moving coil cartridge. The only word to describe to the sound from this record player is epic. In this instance it makes perfect sense to entrust the whole business of extracting the maximum amount of musical information from one’s precious vinyl to Vertere founder Touraj Moggadham’s extraordinary skill as an audio system designer. This is a phenomenal vinyl replay system.”

DG-1S, Sabre and PHONO-1 MKII L Comes Recommended by AUDIOGRADE

13. November 2023

We are delighted to share with you the latest DG-1S, Sabre and PHONO-1 MKKII L package review from AUDIOGRADE.

“While this bundle may be entry level for Vertere, it’s clear that every element has been considered despite its place on the brand’s ladder. Sonically the DG-1S is a cohesive performer, with a sense of scale and body that in some ways defies its looks, with a beguiling sense of rhythm and timing to boot.

The Phono-1 is MKII L is perhaps the unsung hero of the group, with a quality sound and so many settings, few cartridges will be left wanting. All combined this is a thoroughly modern package that’s right were hi-end vinyl replay should be in 2023, rich in innovation, unique in style and with sounds to match.”

Introducing the New XtraX and Dark Sabre Vertere High-Resolution Phono Cartridges

19. October 2023

At Vertere, we take cartridge design very seriously. From the earliest point of product conception, every cartridge in our range is expected to meet rigorous and exacting standards of objective record reproduction. Put simply, we don’t introduce additions to our cartridge product line lightly.

That’s why we’re especially excited to announce the introduction of not one, but two brand new cartridges to the Vertere product range. We’re delighted to present the next generation of Vertere cartridges – XtraX and Dark Sabre.

XtraX – The new pinnacle for cartridge design
Representing a major leap forward in moving coil cartridge design, XtraX defies expectation at every level – from its nude diamond micro-elliptical stylus and telescopic cantilever, to its single-piece aluminium chassis and four-point generator fixing. XtraX achieves previously unattainable levels of musical connection, presence, and jaw dropping harmonic definition, bringing your music to life like never before.

Dark Sabre – Transformational design, stunning reproduction
Introducing a revolutionary new level of musical clarity and definition. Dark Sabre builds on the success of its sister cartridge with an all-new fixing formation, single piece chassis and steeper profile for vastly optimised weight distribution and surface traction. Along with its micro-elliptical nude diamond stylus and telescopic cantilever, Dark Sabre sits among the most cutting-edge moving magnet cartridges available today.

DG-1S Named Outstanding by HiFi & Music Source

3. Avgust 2023

We are pleased to share with you the latest DG-1S review from HiFi & Music Source that awards the turntable its coveted ‘Outstanding’ award badge. 

“Touraj said at the Whittlebury show he was looking for increased musicality; this turntable is tactile, engaging and emotional at every level, and they’ve done it.  If this is your budget I would unreservedly recommend an audition.  If the DG-1 was outstanding, it is hard to think how the DG-1S could be anything other than the same, maybe we should add a ‘very’ to the award!”

Magic moments with the Vertere DG-1S

10 Mar 2023

Unveiling the fabulosity of everything from Freya Ridings to Edgar Winter, The Ear takes the DG-1S record player for a spin and honours it with their “Best Buy” accolade.

“The Sabre and the Vertere DG-1S managed to present the event as a live happening, so much so that the hairs stood up on the back of my neck in anticipation. You really were fully aware of the atmosphere and if you closed your eyes to listen not only could you perceive the communication between the members of the trio, but you could feel the audience sharing the musical journey with them. A huge space, but an essentially intimate coming-together of performers and listeners. Magical.” 

DG-1S Comes Highly Recommended by HIFI CRITC

7 Feb 2023

We are delighted to share the latest DG-1S review by HIFI CRITIC that awards the record player its ‘Highly Recommended’ badge. 

“The DG-1S manages to build on the performance of the original in every respect, and does so while also going a long way to alleviating my concerns over user-friendliness. This is still a striking – and decidedly unconventional – record player, but it asks very little of its owners in day-to-day use, then goes on to deliver a performance that gives a significant taste of what the larger and more elaborate Vertere models can do.” 

Introducing the New Imperium Motor Drive

All information relating to Imperium is under embargo until 11:00 GMT on Monday 31st January 2022.

We are delighted to announce our new motor drive, Imperium. Imperium’s design derives from Vertere’s Reference motor drive: it includes a simplified power supply and control functions. As a result, it sits above last year’s launch of the innovative Tempo.

Imperium follows quite closely behind the new SG-PTA tonearm and VeRum interconnect cable as the ideal products to match the Vertere SG-1 record player. Demand for Imperium was driven by owners of SG-1 and RG-1 record players looking for a motor drive superior in performance to Tempo, but more affordable than the Vertere Reference motor drive.

Pricing and Availability 
Imperium is available to order now and will sell for £7950.00, 9998€, $11995, CAD$14995, AUS$ 17995. The Imperium packaging includes a motor link and a 2m Redline mains cable.

Sabre “Outstanding Product” by Hi-Fi News

“I adore the Sabre. It’s richer-sounding than current MMs in my experience, but no less detailed and precise, with plenty of speed and attack for coping with transients. While there’s still a magical warmth to moving-coils which separates them from moving-magnets, this narrows the gap to insignificance.”

MG-1 MKII Awarded “Best in Class” by AVForums

“The MG-1 Mk2 is a device that calmly dismantles what you might believe vinyl to be capable of”

“Some products simply let their engineering do the talking and the Vertere is a fine example of this ethos”

“It’s a line in the sand by which I will judge everything else and, as AVForums cruelly lacks a ‘Transcendent Moment’ badge, it is unquestionably a Best In Class”
