Devin Turnbull’s OJAS seems to have a firm grip on cool classics.
In addition to his own Artbook Shelf Speakers, OJAS is the US Distributor for Sun Audio, my one that got away favorite amp, the Sun Audio SV-300BE. Now comes news of a collaboration with Denon on the classic 103R moving coil cartridge.
From Denon:
The Denon x OJAS DL-103o moving-coil phono cartridge, a limited edition of our flagship DL-103R, showcases premium 6N copper coils and custom styling in collaboration with high-end audio artist and engineer Devon Turnbull. Tuned by our Sound Master, it elevates any turntable, revealing the soul of every song.
If you remember, Devin’s hifi work was included in a contemporary sculpture exhibit at NYC’s Lisson Gallery (see my coverage) in July 2022 and a variation on this theme, the HiFi Listening Room, is currently on view at the San Francisco Museum of Museum of Modern Art in an exhibit titled “Art of Noise“.
