Note: Jaguar opened this Phasemation PP-2000 cartridge new at the 2025 Capital Audiofest and used it for the weekend. We burned it in for you at the show… now you can get a deal on this essentially-new Japanese cartridge. Includes all original packaging in the wood box. You can hear this cartridge in the YouTube clip at the show below.

Phasemation’s extensive cartridge research has birthed the groundbreaking PP-2000, designed to deliver exceptional auditory lateralization—an ability to localize sound in a way typically associated with high-end headphones. The PP-2000 features next-generation magnetic circuits derived from the PP-1000, with a newly engineered yoke shape that enhances efficiency and creates a more uniform magnetic field, resulting in higher output without adding weight to the vibration system.

This system has been meticulously crafted for optimal sound quality, incorporating a special damping material that offers precise characteristics for a more immersive listening experience. Constructed with a pure boron cantilever, pure iron coils, and 6N oxygen-free copper for the bobbin and wire damper, the PP-2000 combines stainless steel and duralumin for superior sound balance. The DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating enhances rigidity and vibration-damping properties, allowing you to experience unparalleled detail and clarity.

Elevate your audio experience with the PP-2000—where cutting-edge technology meets exquisite sound.
