Simply Black Cantus

Simply Black Cantus is a tangential tracker where the pickup follows the record track in the same way the disc is engraved,  without angular error. Simply Black Cantus is a development of Bo Hansson´s pickup Opus 3 Cantus. The tonearm has a swivel base, solid pickup mount, new cart with wheels and custom tonearm cables.
