Mammoth Tusk Body

Aidas Baby Mammoth and Aidas Mammoth Gold cartridges are the newest and most advanced ones in Aidas line. The body of Aidas Mammoth cartridges is made of 21,000-yearold Siberian Woolly Mammoth tusk.

Mammoth tusk is the best and most unique material Aidas could ever find for his top cartridges. According to his experimental data, as it has very unique properties sound-wise, it is better than true-stone, exotic wood or light metals. It was even compared to other types of bone / horn (deer) material and is far more superior. It is super strong and damps unwanted vibrations perfectly. Compared to deer or buffalo horn material Mammoth is denser - no air bubbles and fewer impurities. Purest possible. Rare and expensive. But still obtainable.

Every Mammoth cartridge body is a precision machined piece of art handmade of various parts of Mammoth tusk (pics below). Bodies may have:

• hairline cracks (glued, stabilised and polished);
• color differences;
• dark grooves.

All above is considered distinctive and original aesthetic features of each cartridge and therefore there are no 2 uniform Mammoth cartridge bodies – they are all unique.
