Ruby One MC Cartridge
$12,995.00USD
The Vertere Ruby One Reference Moving Coil Cartridge is the result of five years of meticulous design and innovation. Engineered for extraordinary clarity and musicality, it features a custom generator, precision-machined body, and advanced cantilever-stylus system — all crafted to reveal every nuance of your music with unmatched realism and finesse.
Ruby One Reference Moving Coil Cartridge
Precision-Engineered to Reveal the Soul of Music
Crafted over five years of passionate development, the Vertere Ruby One Reference Moving Coil Cartridge brings music to life with stunning realism and emotional depth. Every element was meticulously tested and refined — from cantilevers in Diamond, Ruby, and Boron to stylus profiles ranging from fine-line to micro-elliptical — all in pursuit of greater detail, expression, and musical truth.
To ensure seamless synergy with its bespoke generator, the Ruby One’s mass and structural balance were finely tuned. At its core lies a custom-designed, low-mass moving coil generator paired with an advanced telescopic Ruby/Alloy cantilever and a Micro Ridge nude diamond stylus. This carefully matched system captures every nuance — from the gentle decay of a string to the full resonance of a grand piano — with remarkable transparency.
Unlike many high-rigidity cantilever designs, Ruby One’s generator avoids common pitfalls that can lead to distortion. Instead, it delivers ultra-low noise, breathtaking resolution, dynamic realism, and pinpoint spatial accuracy.
More than a cartridge, the Ruby One is a musical experience — one that reveals not just the sound, but the space, emotion, and dimensionality behind every performance.

Advanced Cantilever Technology for Enhanced Performance and Precision
Ultra-Fine Ruby Cantilever with Micro Ridge Nude Diamond Stylus
A precision-engineered Ruby cantilever, measuring just 0.3mm in diameter, delivers exceptional rigidity and responsiveness. It is seamlessly paired with a through-mounted Micro Ridge Nude Diamond stylus tip, ensuring unparalleled tracking accuracy and the ability to extract the finest musical detail from every groove.
Engineered for exceptional rigidity and precise resonance management, the telescopic Ruby-Aluminum cantilever combines the structural strength of ruby with the lightweight agility of aluminum. This advanced hybrid design delivers outstanding dynamic accuracy, rock-solid tracking stability, and extended frequency response for a more lifelike and engaging listening experience.
The cantilever is meticulously coupled to the generator’s Cross Coil assembly, creating a highly responsive and mechanically stable interface. This precise connection ensures optimal signal transmission, enhancing dynamic performance and preserving the purity and detail of the original recording.
Precision-Machined Body with Three-Point Contact and Floating Generator Support
The Ruby One’s single-piece aluminum alloy body features a precision-machined Three-Point Contact design on its top surface, ensuring exact alignment and firm coupling with the tonearm headshell. This guarantees consistent positioning and mechanical stability for optimal tracking performance. Each cartridge generator is individually aligned and calibrated to maintain perfect mechanical balance and deliver uncompromised audio fidelity. Vertere’s signature Four-Point Generator ‘Floating’ Support system employs four finely tuned stainless steel spike screws. Each is meticulously adjusted to provide precise generator alignment, enhance structural integrity, and further isolate the generator from unwanted vibrations—preserving the cartridge’s exceptional clarity and musical expression.
