Thomas Edison’s brilliant phonograph invention captures the physical oscillations of analog sound, representing them via a corresponding continuous signal path carved in a wax cylinder.
For playback, a stylus rides a groove and follows its continuous path regenerating the original oscillations that carved the groove.

There is a direct relationship between the oscillations of the sound wave and the movement of the stylus following the groove.
Physical movement of the stylus assures a signal of a continuous nature as there is no quantization in the path between adjacent signal points.

In digital music, no matter how high the sampling frequency, there must be a mechanism to connect adjacent samples for a smooth continuous signal.
Welcome to NETT AUDIO and its revolutionary Analog Grade Piezoelectric Magnetic Cartridges

USPTO, EPO, South Korea

The piezoelectric-magnetic analog grade cartridge works like a digital stylus at the final digital to analog conversion stage.
The result is a complete redefinition of the listening experience of digitally encoded music and the birth of the Analog Grade™️ DAC concept.
