Breakthrough Device Isolates Your Cartridge from the Tonearm, Makes Superimposed Resonances Disappear: Funk Firm Houdini Decoupler Achieves Dramatic Benefits

Just like the elusive talents of the magician from whom it takes its name, the Funk Firm Houdini cartridge decoupler makes colorations disappear – and solves an issue that all tonearms have. Utilizing a patented suspension and torsion tether to create a zone of stability for the now-isolated cartridge, Houdini successfully decouples it from your tonearm, thereby removing the superimposed resonances generated by the cartridge.

The benefits of using this so-called "record cutter in reverse" are more than merely noticeable; they are dramatic. Among the differences you'll hear are enhanced pacing, improved midrange clarity, blacker backgrounds, wider dynamics, and firmer definition. It's no wonder that Funk Firm founder, renowned analog engineer, and physicist Arthur Khoubesserian calls Houdini the greatest contribution he has made to audio.

We invite you to audition one for yourself, with the security that comes with our 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee. Select the model you need from the menu above: Threaded and through-hole models are available (for the two different cartridge fitting arrangements).

"It is as if The Funk Firm Houdini helps your cartridge escape the intrusion of the tonearm, then. Granted, some might have selected their current arm/cartridge combination precisely because of how they sound together. Yet for those considering upgrading either or both items, I suggest you try the Houdini first because it will improve the sound of your vinyl front end, and could save you money."
—Jay Garrett, StereoNET Applause Award

"There's less of a sense that I'm hearing a cartridge tracking a groove, and more a master tape feel. Stereo separation also improves, with superior stage depth being a big win.... This is an intriguing and important vinyl accessory...."
Hi-Fi Choice, Recommended accessory

"[Listening] to what vinyl can sound like when that ringing, clanging, clanking sound of the arm is removed is an epiphany. Sounds are so much more vibrant and alive, so much more natural and realistic."
—Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+
