Vertere MG-1 MkII Mystic II Turntable Package

Taking vinyl replay beyond what’s possible in this class, the MG-1 MkII Magic Groove record player incorporates and shares critical design elements with Vertere’s SG-1 Player. The MG-1 delivers remarkable performance, surpassed only by Vertere’s flagship models—the RG-1 Reference Groove and the SG-1 Standard Groove. As with all Vertere turntables, each component is individually crafted, using optimum materials and manufactured to the highest precision standards.

A Superlative Design

The Record Player MG-1 Magic Groove features numerous critical design elements derived from the SG-1 high-performance model, allowing it to exceed expectations within its class. Its precision main bearing and platter assembly, belt-driven by the SG-1 motor system, ensures exceptionally smooth rotation and a stable platform for the tonearm and cartridge. This combination produces a wide dynamic range with an impressively ‘dark’ background, bettered only by the RG-1 and SG-1. The plinth structure and isolation system, also based on the SG-1, are engineered for a maintenance- and setup-free experience.

An Unparalleled Musical Experience

Even in its standard configuration, fitted with D-Fi tonearm and motor drive cables, the MG-1 delivers outstanding audio performance. Used with the matching SG-1 tonearm and Motor Drive, it becomes a true pleasure to operate. Its built-in upgradability allows listeners to elevate its capabilities further—by upgrading the cables to Pulse-B, Pulse-R, or even Pulse-HB, the MG-1’s true potential is unlocked. Stylishly designed and exquisitely finished with meticulous attention to detail, the MG-1 is an essential choice for any vinyl enthusiast seeking musicality, performance, and long-term satisfaction.

Mystic II MC Cartridge

The Vertere Mystic II Moving Coil Phono Cartridge is designed and manufactured to exacting standards to deliver an uncompromising musical experience. Its body is machined from solid aluminium alloy and mass-tuned to the generator, ensuring optimum support and control of unwanted mechanical vibrations. The threaded body accepts two supplied stainless steel thumb screws, enabling precise coupling to the tonearm head-shell. On top of the cartridge are three specifically machined contact points that ensure accurate mechanical coupling. An additional alignment ridge at the front aids in mounting the Mystic to any compatible Vertere tonearm.

Generator & Performance

At the heart of the Mystic II is a Samarium-Cobalt magnet and a Cross coil made from pure copper wire. Its aluminium tube cantilever supports a bonded Micro Elliptical diamond stylus, engineered for maximum tractability without compromising high-frequency response or increasing surface noise. This refined design delivers a wide frequency range—from below 10Hz up to 40kHz—and a 0.5mV output, resulting in a lifelike dynamic range with exceptional depth and precision.
