An Aucurum gold-plated copper coil and conical aluminum cantilever complete its moving system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePearl Audio’s Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bronze makes sense for an analog system built around precision and tonal completeness rather than convenience. The Replicant 100 profile is exceptionally demanding of setup; careful installation is part of the purchase, not an optional finishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplicant 100 geometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stylus uses a very long vertical contact surface and narrow tracing radius to approach the shape of a record-cutting stylus.
