Description

This cartridge features Ortofon’s Nude Fine Line elliptical diamond mounted on an aluminium cantilever.

The listening panel recommends this model as the ideal choice for the afficionado who loves classical music, choral arrangements and acoustic jazz that require perfect balance and consistency from the deepest bass, across the crucial midrange and up through the highest high’s.

The same high output as Kontrapunkt b ensures an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio even with MC inputs with lower gain.
