Skyanalog G-3 MKII

Skyanalog G-3 MKII

The Skyanalog G-3 MKII features a Sapphire cantilever and an Elliptical Fineline stylus, combined with the advanced new Yan system. The G-2 MKII is the second model in the Skyanalog G series.

Technical Construction of the Skyanalog G-2 MKII:

• Stylus: Diamond Elliptical Fineline grinding with a radius of 5 µm (length 150 µm).
• Cantilever: Sapphire for ultimate low moving mass and even higher stiffness (handle with care).
• Components: Cross-wound iron coils, aluminum casing, solid plastic stylus protection.

The Yan System:
What makes an excellent MC cartridge? The Suspension System!
The essence of MC cartridges is the suspension system, fundamentally determined by the interaction between the spring (piano wire) and the rubber ring.
Moreover, the art of damping is essentially "matching" – ensuring that every part works in harmony.
Therefore, a precise factory setting according to specifications is required to ensure balanced music reproduction.

Since 2024, the Yan system has been added, lowering the recommended tracking force to 1.1–1.4 grams. This reduces the skating force, minimizes distortion, and allows for a more flexible tonearm adjustment.

Features of the Skyanalog Yan Suspension System:

• Minimal loss of information and distortion.
• Exceptional dynamic range and lifelike sound reproduction.
• Enhanced transient response and clarity.
• Analytical yet warm acoustics.
• Tracking force of only 1.1–1.4 grams.

Extra Bubble Formula:

State-of-the-art Soundstage and Imaging:
Thanks to the dense air hole structure, the damper provides richer information, which is utilized to create the most lifelike soundstage we’ve ever heard.

Minimal Phase Distortion:
An accurate sound image is achieved through minimized phase distortion. Every detail from the recording can be clearly identified.

Enhanced Transient Response:
With faster energy transfer and less hysteresis, the new formula damper is more analytical but also musically enjoyable.

Unbelievable Flat High-Frequency Response:
The extra-bubble damping rubber finds a balanced match with the new spring, enabling high-fidelity high-frequency pickup, taming the bottleneck of traditional MC cartridges.

Stylus Maintenance:
Use only a brush to clean the stylus. Liquids are not recommended as they can damage the stylus. Always handle the stylus carefully for optimal performance.

Break-In Period:
The break-in period for the cartridge is approximately 30 hours at an average temperature of 23°C. The packaging includes screws and an Allen key for easy installation.
