Houdini Cartridge De-Coupler - A new patent issued to Arthur Koubesserian

London,UK-1September 2020  The Funk Firm has released a new dynamically stable Cartridge DeCoupler. 

Named Houdini, Funk claims that much as a tuning fork couples its vibration when placed onto a guitar box, the very act of firmly bolting the cartridge to the arm similarly couples and superimposes its resonances directly onto the cartridge. Funk claims that to date all arms are responsible for this describing it as “The problem you never knew you had” and all turntables suffer from it. Decoupling the arm is akin to lifting the tuning fork and thereby reduces colorations by an order of magnitude. A fully isolated cartridge would befree to wobble, negating the benefits. Houdini deals with this by utilizing anew-patented suspension and torsion tether to create what Funk describes as an island of stability to achieve “The Record Cutter in Reverse”. 

They claim the differences aren’t subtle and they see Houdini as the “Next step forward for analogue”. 

Two different models are available to fit the two different cartridge fitting arrangements –threaded or though hole.

Alternative mounts are also available to permit correct functioning with different arm restrictions. 

Arthur Khoubesserian views Houdini as the greatest contribution contribution he’s ever made in audio. Price:$400
