Ortofon Cadenza Black MC Cartridge

Ortofon is a Danish manufacturer of high quality phono cartridges, designed to get the very most out of your vinyl collection from a variety of price points. Ortofon cartridges, both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil configuration are commonly found supplied with high quality ProJect turntable models, but Ortofon cartridges sound exceptional with any compatible turntable.

Moving Coil cartridges feature an inverted version of the Moving Magnet design. Instead of a magnet sitting on the end of the cantilever between two coils, the coils have attached to the cantilever and a magnet is placed near them. Because space within the cartridge at this level is extremely limited, the coils are made from an exceptionally fine wire. The coils tiny size results in a very low output. Equipped with a Replicant 100 stylus and a conical aluminium cantilever, the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze moving coil cartridge is a superbly accomplished musical performer. Ortofon Aucurum wire forms the special coil material for transparent natural sound. For superior musical reproduction at the highest level, look no further than this superb cartridge.

This high end moving coil cartridge owes it's superb sound quality to it's advanced nude Shibata diamond stylus mounted on an extremely thin, rigid and lightweight boron cantilever of extremely low effective mass, allowing Ortofon Cadenza Black to extract maximum information from the groove. Sound quality is extremely pure, with amazing tonal neutrality, dynamics and detail. This cartridge would suit all good quality turntables and phono stages.
