The flagship Starling open-architecture moving coil cartridge uses the same resonance-reducing body design as the Songbird but introduces a long-grain boron cantilever and a Micro-Ridge stylus. This allows the Starling to render the grandeur of an orchestra while still preserving air and space and also realise every detail of a nuanced Jazz recording with its responsive dynamics and deep silences.  The mechanical silence of the Starling concedes a dynamic linearity across the entire spectrum that allows it to handle even the most demanding passages with effortless poise and convincing drive.
