About Skyanalog

Jack Leung, the founder of Skyanalog, developed an interest in building tube amplifiers at a very young age. He later attended South China University of Technology, where he graduated with a degree in electronic engineering. In the same year, he founded Skyanalog, which initially produced tube amplifiers. The company later transitioned to the analog sector, first as an OEM cartridge supplier to many well-known international brands (more than 20 brands and over 50 models) in 25 years of activity, also providing support for all MC cartridges, whether made by Skyanalog or other manufacturers.

The principle that inspired Jack Leung to design and build the Skyanalog cartridge line can be summarized in the belief that:

“Every detail counts,” with a focus on cartridge production based on three pillars: Precision Handmade, Top Quality, Reliable After Sale.

There are two main series in the current lineup: the P series, including models P1 and P2, and the G series, including models G1, G2, G3, and Reference.

Both the P and G series models use high-quality cantilevers, with boron being used even in the more affordable models (P1, P2, G1) and ruby and sapphire for the higher-performing ones (G2, G3, and Reference).

The weight of the P series models is 8.9 g. For the G series, it is 10 g, and for the Reference, it is 11 g. The internal impedance is 8 ohms for all models, except for the Reference, which has a value of 6 ohms. The output voltage is 0.4 mV for the P1, while all other models have an output of 3.5 mV. The frequency response within one dB (+/- 1 dB) varies depending on the model, ranging from 20 to 20,000 Hz for the P1, up to 25,000 Hz for the G series, and up to 30,000 Hz for the Reference.
