Analog Relax

Analog Relax is a Japanese cartridge manufacturer whose products are built on a single, uncompromising conviction: that analogue playback, pursued with absolute seriousness, remains the highest expression of recorded music. The EX range — spanning the EX300, EX500, EX1000, and EX2000 — represents that conviction rendered in precision-engineered moving coil cartridges, each one designed to extract every last detail from the groove with no compromise on resolution, tracking stability, or musical truth.

Every Analog Relax cartridge is assembled by hand in Japan to tolerances that the mass production process cannot achieve. The result is a moving coil cartridge that does not merely track the record — it interrogates it, recovering low-level detail, transient accuracy, and dynamic contrast at levels previously unsurpassed in its class.

The EX range scales from the EX300, which sets a new standard at its price point, through to the EX2000 — a statement cartridge that redefines what is possible from a stylus in a groove. Each step up the range brings measurable improvements in cantilever material, stylus profile, and generator assembly, and each step is audible from the first bars of a record.

We stock the full Analog Relax range at our Norwich showroom, where you can hear each cartridge demonstrated on a properly matched system. If you are considering a serious upgrade to your turntable setup, speak to Dave or Chris, who know this range in depth.
