Leson LS10 MKII “S” Cartridge

Beyond Sound: Into Soul

Welcome to a new reference in vinyl playback.

With 5N OCC silver coils, a boron cantilever, and a line contact stylus, it offers an elite blend of materials chosen for their performance and ability to extract the soul of recorded music.

This cartridge is not for everyone. It is for the listener who hears what others miss — the nuance in a pianist's touch, the air between strings, the intimacy of breath before a note. It is for those who demand more than fidelity: they seek truth.

With the "S" version, every session becomes a private concert. The veil lifts. The artist appears. The emotion flows.

Embodies the spirit of musical truth, craftsmanship without compromise, and the conviction that exceptional sound is an experience that inspires and connects.

The Musical Elegance of Silver

At the heart lies a precision-wound coil of 5N OCC silver wire, just 0.03mm in diameter.

Silver is the best electrical conductor known on Earth, and its use in coil windings unlocks a level of signal purity and responsiveness that no other material can match.

When further refined through the Ohno Continuous Casting (OCC) process, the silver wire gains an ultra-long grain structure, virtually eliminating signal distortion caused by crystalline boundaries. The result is breathtaking resolution and extension while preserving natural tonality.

What you can expect:

• Greater microdynamic expression
• Air and separation between instruments
• A sound that is fluid and emotionally engaging

The Kinetic Precision of Boron

Features a boron rod cantilever, selected for its remarkable stiffness-to-weight ratio, which is significantly more than aluminum or even ruby.

This means boron delivers superior rigidity with significantly less mass, allowing vibrations to travel faster and more precisely.

What you can expect:

• Lightning-fast transients
• Textural realism
• A sense of immediacy that makes the music come alive

New Line Contact Geometry

Features a special line contact stylus shape developed in-house, with a geometry positioned between the well-known Shibata and Fritz Gyger profiles.

This design achieves an ideal balance between revealing inner groove detail and ensuring ease of setup.

Its extended contact area with the groove walls reduces wear both on the stylus and your records, while its broad SRA sweet spot minimizes sensitivity to VTA variation.

What you can expect:

• Effortless tracking across the entire record surface
• Large VTA sweet spot to deliver astounding sound
• Longer stylus and record life for sustained listening pleasure

Effortless Installation

Features a pre-threaded body and straight-line geometry to simplify alignment. Whether you're a seasoned audiophile or a first-time upgrader, installation is intuitive and straightforward.

Spend less time adjusting and more time listening.
